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.
Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct parts: the outer part called the adrenal cortex and the inner adrenal medulla. The adrenal glands secrete different hormones which act as âchemical messengersâ. These hormones travel in the bloodstream and act on various body tissues to enable them to function correctly.
