General Points on the Role of the Endocrine Glands
Paul Dupont, MD, FRC

The Endocrine Glands and Hormones
To understand what an endocrine gland is, we need first to examine briefly some definitions. The term “endocrine” comes from endo meaning within and kreinin which means to secrete because the glands secrete substances within the body. These substances are called hormones. This contrasts with exocrine glands with their external secretions.
Glands do not simply secrete hormones in a haphazard manner. In fact, they are known to produce parameters allowing them to fluctuate secretions, and this varies not only according to external conditions like light, temperature, and magnetic fields but also according to inner conditions like balance or the physical, chemical, and psychic homeostasis of the body.
The word hormone takes its meaning from the Greek hormön meaning to excite, a term used for the first time by English physiologists at the beginning of the twentieth century. The word refers to all substances in the body capable of acting at a distance and by way of the circulatory system independent of the nervous system. Although this encompasses the nervous system’s hormones as well, the great majority of them are directly secreted by the endocrine glands.
The endocrine glands therefore secrete substances that act throughout the body as a whole to maintain its function in well-defined ways and according to a guiding intelligence independent of our will.
