Microcirculation of the Adrenal Glands

The artistic rendering of the adrenal glands shows the small arteries and veins of the adrenal (suprarenal glands).. The cortex has three major layers. The blood supply of the cortex traverses the zona glomerulosa, the fasciculata and reticularis and then drains into the veins in the medulla. The adrenal glands have two major functional components. The outer cortex and the inner medulla. This art piece shows the inner workings of the supply and drainage systems, that enable the gland to respond to emergency situations in fractions of a second.
