Fix Python – How to extract the n-th elements from a list of tuples

I’m trying to obtain the n-th elements from a list of tuples.

I have something like:

elements = [(1,1,1),(2,3,7),(3,5,10)]

I wish to extract only the second elements of each tuple into a list:

seconds = [1, 3, 5]

I know that it could be done with a for loop but I wanted to know if there’s another way since I have thousands of tuples.
