What hormones are released from the adrenal gland?
The adrenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are endrocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys in mammals. For humans, the right gland is triangular shaped while the left gland is semilunar shaped. They are responsible for releasing hormones in conjunction with stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids such as cortisol and catecholamines, such as epinephrine. Adrenal glands effect kidney function through the secretion of aldosterone, a hormone involved in regulating plasma osmolarity.
Through what vein do secretions of both the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla leave the adrenal gland?
They go through the suprarenal veins. The left suprarenal vein drains into the left renal vein, although in a minority of individuals it drains into the inferior phrenic vein. The right suprarenal vein drains directly into the inferior vena cava.
