interrenal gland in dogs

Structures in fishes homologous to the cortical tissue of the mammalian adrenal gland; they are in close proximity to or imbedded in the head kidney. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the interrenal gland is

Structures in fishes homologous to the cortical tissue of the mammalian adrenal gland; they are in close proximity to or imbedded in the head kidney. The atlas records it as a gland at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the interrenal gland is

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the endocrine and urinary systems. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the interrenal gland connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. part of head kidney.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the interrenal gland. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as interrenal, interrenal bodies, interrenal body, interrenal gland and interrenal tissue. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
