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.
There are normally two adrenal glands, located one above each kidney. The adrenal glands are really two endocrine glands in one. The inner part produces epinephrine (also called adrenaline). The outer portion of the adrenal is called the cortex.It makes two important steroid hormones, cortisol and aldosterone.Cortisol mobilizes nutrients, modifies the bodyâs response to inflammation, stimulates the liver to raise the blood sugar, and also helps to control the amount of water in the body.here are normally two adrenal glands, located one above each kidney.
