Anatomy of Endocrine Glands and Vessels

This document provides an overview of the anatomical relationships of four endocrine glands: 1) The pituitary gland is located in the sella turcica bone cavity at the base of the brain. It is supplied by the internal carotid and hypophyseal arteries and drained by the intercavernous sinuses. 2) The thyroid gland is located in the neck anterior to the trachea. It receives blood supply from the superior, middle, and inferior thyroid arteries and drains into the internal jugular veins. 3) The adrenal glands are located superior to the kidneys. The right adrenal gland sits adjacent to the liver and the left is near the stomach and pancreas
