The description, study, or illustration of the structure and form of glands.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'graphia' (writing/description). This term emerged in medical literature to describe the specialized field of documenting gland anatomy, particularly before modern imaging technology.
Before X-rays and CT scans, adenography meant carefully dissecting tissues and drawing what you saw—but this painstaking work created the detailed knowledge of gland structure that doctors still rely on today.
