ABSTRACT
Questions on the adrenal gland should be relatively straightforward, but you will need a good understanding of the different endocrine feedback mechanisms that exist. Endocrine-based questions can also easily lead into clinical issues of under/overactive glands, so for this section we would recommend you familiarise yourself with hyperaldosteronism (primary and secondary), Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome and phaeochromocytomas.
