Right suprarenal vein drains into ?
a) Inferior vena cava
b) Right renal vein
c) Left renal vein
d) Accessory Hemiazygous vein
Show Answer
Correct Answer – A
Ans. is ‘a’ i.e., Inferior vena cava
Arterial supply of adrenal gland is by three arteries:-
1. Superior suprarenal artery (branch of the inferior phrenic artery);
2. Middle suprarenal artery (branch of abdominal aorta); and
3. inferior suprarenal artery (branch of the renal artery).
Venous drainage is through the suprarenal veins.
Right suprarenal (adrenal) vein drains into IVC and left suprarenal vein drains into the left renal vein and then into IVC.
Lymphatics from suprarenal glands drain into lateral aortic (paraaortic) nodes.
