The suprarenal fossa, also known as the adrenal fossa, is a shallow depression located on the superior aspect of each kidney. It serves as the anatomical space where the adrenal glands (or suprarenal glands) are situated. These glands are responsible for producing various hormones, including cortisol and adrenaline, and are crucial for regulating metabolism and stress responses. The suprarenal fossa is found in the retroperitoneal space of the abdominal cavity.
