Adrenaline is a catecholamine, which is released as a neurotransmitter from neurons in the central nervous system and as a hormone from chromaffine cells in the adrenal gland. Adrenaline is required for increased metabolic and cardiovascular demands during stress. Its cellular actions are mediated via...
D Adrenaline(肾上腺素), also known as epinephrine, is a type of hormone that is released whenever a perso experiences fear, anxiety, or stress.In fact, as soon as your brain senses danger, it tells your body to start making adrenaline. The hormone moves through your bloodstream quickly and...
Epinephrine (adrenaline) is a hormone and a neurotransmitter. Epinephrine produces many effects in the body, the most notable being those associated with the ‘fight or flight’ response to perceived danger. The effects of epinephrine are mediated by the family of adrenergic receptors. Epinephrine is...
Epinephrine (adrenaline) is a hormone and neurotransmitter produced by the adrenal gland. Its primary function is to respond to the sympathetic activity of the body for "fight or flight" by cardiac output, blood pressure, and blood sugar, as well as shunting blood away from the gut and into...
Epinephrine or adrenaline is a hormone as well as a medical drug. Moreover, epinephrine is aneurotransmitter. The adrenal glands produce epinephrine. Epinephrine regulates visceral functions. It plays a vital role in the flight or fight responses. Epinephrine’s signal transduction function initiates ...
Epinephrine or what is also known as adrenaline, is a hormone that is generally released in the body due to the stimuli of stress or danger. It is a powerful stimulant and prepares the body for a flight-or-fight response.Answer and Explanation: The gland that produces norep...

Epinephrine (adrenaline) It is a hormone and neurotransmitter. It increases heart rate, contracts blood vessels, dilates air passages, and participates in the fight-or-flight response of the sympatheticnervous system.Epinephrineacts on nearly all body tissues.
