A Level Biology Revision (Year 13)

In this video, we look at the adrenal glands. First we look at the location and structure of the adrenal glands. We then explore the roles of the hormones secreted by the adrenal glands. This includes glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and androgens which are secreted by the adrenal cortex and adrenaline and noradrenaline which are secreted by the adrenal medulla.
