are the kidneys inferior to adrenal glands
[edit on Wikidata] The adrenal arteries are arteries in the human abdomen that supply blood to the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands receive input from three different arteries on both the left and right sides of the body: superior suprarenal artery branching from the inferior phrenic artery. The suprarenal glands are responsible for the release of hormones that regulate metabolism, immune system function, and the salt-water balance in the bloodstream; they also aid in the body’s response to stress. Left and right adrenal glands. 1 They are considered retroperitoneal, which means that they lie behind the peritoneum. 2  The renal artery connects the kidneys to the aorta, while the renal vein connects the kidneys to the inferior vena cava.  The adrenal glands lie superior to the kidneys. The adrenal glands receive input from three different arteries on both the left and right sides of the body: 1  superior suprarenal artery branching from the inferior phrenic artery. 2  middle suprarenal artery branching from the abdominal aorta.  inferior suprarenal artery branching from the renal artery. The suprarenal glands, also known as adrenal glands, belong to the endocrine system. They are a pair of triangular-shaped glands, each about 2 in long and 1 in wide, that sit on top of the kidneys (see the image below). The kidneys are located at the rear wall of the abdominal cavity and they are protected by the ribcage. Describe the external anatomy and location of the kidneys. 1  The kidneys lie in the lower abdominal cavity, on its rear wall.  Adhering to the surface of each kidney are two layers of fat to help cushion them. The kidneys are located at the rear wall of the abdominal cavity and they are protected by the ribcage. Describe the external anatomy and location of the kidneys. The kidneys lie in the lower abdominal cavity, on its rear wall. There are a number of important external structures connecting the kidneys to the rest of the body. The renal artery branches off from the lower part of the aorta and provides the blood supply to the kidneys. Renal veins take blood away from the kidneys into the inferior vena cava. The ureters are structures that come out of the kidneys, bringing urine downward into the bladder. The suprarenal cortex serves as the outer layer of the suprarenal gland, and the suprarenal medulla serves as the inner layer. These 2 major regions are encapsulated by connective tissue known as the capsule (see the images below). Suprarenal (adrenal) gland, anterior view. The adrenal arteries are arteries in the human abdomen that supply blood to the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands receive input from three different arteries on both the left and right sides of the body: 1  superior suprarenal artery branching from the inferior phrenic artery.  middle suprarenal artery branching from the abdominal aorta.
