The central vein of the suprarenal gland is the main vein through which blood is drained from the adrenal (suprarenal) gland. It is a significant structure of the adrenal gland draining directly into the inferior vena cava. It carries not only deoxygenated blood but also hormones secreted by the gland such as cortisol and adrenaline, which help control body functions like immune response, metabolism, stress response, and blood pressure.
