same reaction from the body as fear (“High on Love” ND). When stimulated‚ the hypothalamus‚ a tiny region of the brain‚ sets off an alarm system in your body that prompts your adrenal glands to release a flow of hormones‚ including epinephrine (“Stress” 10). Epinephrine‚ or adrenaline‚ affects the arteries as it acts upon the adrenergic receptors

The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside natural heart abnormalities are those induced by chemical substances

hormones result in vasoconstriction and increased cardiac output‚ returning the blood pressure back to its normal range. The short term mechanism of the endocrine response to a lowered blood pressure involves the sympathetic activation and release of epinephrine and norepinephrine which are adrenal hormones that act to increase cardiovascular activity through vasoconstriction and increased cardiac

nervous and endocrine systems overlap to some extent. Certain specialized nerve cells known as neurosecretory cells release hormones into the blood. The hormones produced by these cells are sometimes called neurohormones. Chemicals such as epinephrine serve as both hormones of the endocrine system and neurotransmitters in the nervous system. The nervous system plays a role in certain sustained responses—controlling day/night cycles and reproductive cycles in many animals‚ for example—often
