The suprarenal glands, also known as adrenal glands, belong to the endocrine system. They are a pair of triangular-shaped glands, each about 2 in long and 1 in wide, that sit on top of the kidneys (see the image below).
Suprarenal gland (adrenal gland). The suprarenal gland (adrenal gland) is located at the top of each kidney; therefore each person has two suprarenal glands. The suprarenal glands are divided into two parts. The outer portion of the gland is called the adrenal cortex. The adrenal cortex is responsible for creating three different types of hormones: mineralocorticoids which conserve sodium in the body, glucocorticoids which increase blood glucose levels, and gonadocorticoids which regulate sex hormones such as estrogen.
