Suprarenal Gland 3D

  • Description                                               
    • * Is a retroperitoneal organ lying on the superomedial aspect of the kidney. It is surrounded by a capsule and renal fascia.
    • * It's outer cortex of mesodermal origin secretes a number of steroid hormones.
    • * It's inner medulla of neural crest origin is made up of chromaffin cells and secretes adrenaline and noradrenalin.
    • * Each gland is supplied by the superior suprarenal, the middle suprarenal artery, and the inferior suprarenal artery.
    • * Each gland is drained by one vein. The right suprarenal vein drains into the inferior vena cava, and the left suprarenal vein into the left renal vein.
    • * Lymphatics from the suprarenal glands drain into the lateral aortic nodes.
    • * Has a rich nerve supply through myelinated preganglionic sympathetic fibres.
