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.
Your adrenal glands are about 3 inches wide, pyramid-shaped, and sit right above your kidneys. These glands produce hormones that help us deal with stress. The center of the adrenal gland is called the medulla. It produces the hormone adrenaline which results in epinephrine and norepinephrine. The outer part of the gland, known as the cortex, makes the hormones aldosterone, DHEAs, cortisol, and trace amounts of the hormones testosterone and estrogen.
