Pediatric endocrinology is engaged in the study of the structure, development and functions of endocrine glands, the mechanism of action of hormones, and diseases of the endocrine system. What is the children's endocrine system? This is a complex of glands in the body of the child, which are responsible for the formation and release of various hormones into the blood. Glands of internal secretion produce active chemicals - hormones that control all the processes in the body. Their surplus, as well as the defect, leads to serious violations not only in physiological processes, but also in the mental and mental activity of the child.
