Adrenal artery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The adrenal arteries are arteries in the human abdomen that supply blood to the adrenal glands.
The adrenal glands actually receive input from 3 different arteries on both the left and right sides of the body:
The superior suprarenal artery branching from the inferior phrenic artery
The middle suprarenal artery branching from the aorta
The inferior suprarenal artery branching from the renal artery
