Adrenal anatomy and physiology

by Mustafa Yaseen, Hull York Medical School

Do you feel slightly confused whenever someone mentions adrenal hormonal abnormalities? Does it sound like they are all similar?
I will try to go through the basics of adrenal anatomy and hormone production and their relation to the other systems to the body. Learning the basics of adrenal physiology can be immensely helpful in understanding the pathology of the issues arising from that system and their presentation in the body!!
