Adrenal gland

The video tutorial by Dr. Morton covers the anatomy, histology, and function of the adrenal gland. It explains the gland's location, vascular supply, and the hormones secreted by its cortex and medulla. The tutorial delves into the roles of aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens, highlighting their physiological effects and regulatory mechanisms. The adrenal medulla's role in the fight or flight response through epinephrine secretion is also discussed.
