They reach theirmaximal development during intra-uterine life. Their sizeis considerable in proportion to that of the kidneys in thefoetus at term (Fig. 9). This fact, discovered by Meckel, wasconfirmed for man by A. Ecker and H. Frey. It does not, how-ever, signify (as Bischoff maintained) that the functions of thesuprarenals are in relation with embryonic life, since they would II PHYSIOLOGY CHAP.
