By Matt Fowler. ABC has picked up Marvel's Agent Carter for a second season, while Agents of SHIELD will be back for Season 3. While Agents of SHIELD's pick up was more or less expected, the Agent Carter news comes as an awesome semi-surprise since its fate was more up in the air.
Where are the adrenal glands? The adrenal glands are small glands that sit on top of the kidneys in the retroperitoneum (i.e. the deepest part of the abdomen). They are several centimeters in length and each weighs 4-6 grams.
The adrenals are small glands that sit above each of the kidneys, as shown in the picture below. The kidneys are found deep inside the upper part of the belly (abdomen). The adrenal gland has 2 parts. The outer part, called the cortex, is where adrenal cortical tumors start.The cortex makes certain hormones for the body. These hormones are called steroids.he inner part of the adrenal gland, called the medulla, is really part of the nervous system. Nervous system hormones are made in the medulla. Tumors of the adrenal medulla are not covered here.
