Structure and/or Key Features:
The cortical sinusoids are one set of arteries that arise from the subcapsular arterial plexus. They form an established, convoluted network among the cortex, which ensures a rich arterial supply to the tissue. As the capillaries penetrate deeper, they begin to coalesce and form an arterial plexus deep within the zona reticularis and medullary tissue.

Function
The cortical sinusoids ensure adequate perfusion of blood to the cortex and medulla of the suprarenal glands.
