Middle suprarenal arteries

Template:Infobox Artery

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

The middle suprarenal arteries (middle capsular arteries; suprarenal arteries) are two small vessels which arise, one from either side of the abdominal aorta, opposite the superior mesenteric artery.

They pass laterally and slightly upward, over the crura of the diaphragm, to the suprarenal glands, where they anastomose with suprarenal branches of the inferior phrenic and renal arteries.

In the fetus these arteries are of large size.
