Kidneys, suprarenal glands and posterior abdominal vessels, nerves and muscles
Right suprarenal gland with inferior vena cava in situ, close-up view
The suprarenal gland has been divested of its fascial covering. In this view the inferior vena cava has been retained to demonstrate the close relation which exists between it and the suprarenal gland. The right suprarenal vein is almost completely hidden in its passage forward toward the vena cava from the middle of the gland.
