adj. belonging or relating to the adrenal glands; situated near the kidneys


Wikipedia English The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Adrenal gland
In mammals, the adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are the triangle-shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys; their name indicates that position (ad-, "near" or "at" + -renes, "kidneys"). They are chiefly responsible for regulating the stress response through the synthesis of corticosteroids and catecholamines, including cortisol and adrenaline.
