adrenal gland
1. Designating an endocrine gland situated close to the kidney (typically near the upper or anterior pole), composed of two different types of tissue, one producing steroid hormones and the other catecholamines (now usually in adrenal gland); = suprarenal adj. 1.The earlier name suprarenal gland does not accurately describe the position of this gland (frequently on the inner aspect of the anterior pole of the kidney) in many animals.In mammals, the tissues of the adrenal gland are divided into distinct regions, the cortex and the medulla (see Compounds); in birds and reptiles the two types of tissue may be intermingled. In lower vertebrates both types of tissue are present but are not organized into a single gland.
