Ans. is 'c' i.e., Related to bare area of liver o Suprarenal (adrenal) glands are a pair of endocrine glands situated retroperitoneally in posterior abdominal wall on each side of vertebral column on upper pole of corresponding kidney.o Right suprarenal gland is triangular or pyramidal in shape and left is semilunar in shape.o Each gland measures 50 mm in height, 30 mm in breadth and 10 mm in thickness. Weight of each suprarenal gland is about Sgm.o Each suprarenal gland is divided into outer cortex and inner medulla.

Right suprarenal (adrenal) vein drains into IVC, and left suprarenal vein drains into the left renal vein and then into IVC.o Lymphatics from suprarenal glands drain into lateral aortic (para-aortic) nodes.
