The Development and Anatomy of Adrenal Glands
The retroperitoneal adrenals are situated in the epigastric region of the abdomen, on the upper pole of either kidney. The glands are golden-yellow in color. The right adrenal is triangular or pyramidal, and the left one is semi-circular or crescentic in shape. The blood supply rate per gram of tiss...

| Sumario: | The retroperitoneal adrenals are situated in the epigastric region of the abdomen, on the upper pole of either kidney. The glands are golden-yellow in color. The right adrenal is triangular or pyramidal, and the left one is semi-circular or crescentic in shape. The blood supply rate per gram of tissue for the adrenal gland is one of the highest. The two parts of the gland are derived from two different embryological tissues. This chapter discusses the normal macro- and microscopic anatomy of the gland along with its embryological development. |
