(...) The cortical and chromaffin tissues come together to form adrenal glands in tetrapods.[well established][VHOG] EMAPA:18426 XAO:0000164 suprarenal capsule Anatomical structure which is found on the surface of the kidney and secretes various hormones including epinephrine, norephinephrine, aldosterone, corticosterone, and cortisol.[AAO] suprarenal gland glandula adrenalis Either of a pair of complex endocrine organs near the anterior medial border of the kidney consisting of a mesodermal cortex that produces glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, and androgenic hormones and an ectodermal medulla that produces epinephrine and norepinephrine[BTO].

It is thought to share the same origin as the kidney and gonads, derived from coelomic epithelium of the urogenital ridge and/or the underlying mesenchyme (Keegan and Hammer, 2002; Morohashi, 1997). We follow Kardong and state homology at the level of the cortex and medulla rather than gland as a whole epinephros abdomen element adrenal/interrenal gland structure with developmental contribution from neural crest lateral structure
