Since there’s no muscles activity during expiration‚ the inward forces of elastic recoil is what gives the lung an elastic properties or the ability of the lung tissue to bounce back to its normal volume after the expansion in inhalation. Epinephrine enhances sympathetic activity to dilate airways and decrease airway resistance‚ which had been elevated by the effects of histamine on the bronchioles. It also raises blood pressure‚ which enhances oxygen delivery to tissues by increasing flow.

times of great emergency.’ ” Epinephrine‚ more commonly known as Adrenaline‚ is a naturally occurring hormone. It is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands. Strong emotions such as fear or anger cause epinephrine to be released into the bloodstream‚ which causes an increase in heart rate‚ muscle strength‚ blood pressure‚ and sugar metabolism. This reaction‚ known as the “Flight or Fight Response” prepares the body for strenuous activity. Epinephrine was the first hormone to be

Adrenaline is also known as epinephrine. Adrenaline is derived from the Latin roots ad‚ meaning towards and renes‚ meaning kidneys. Epinephrine originated from the Greek roots epi‚ meaning on‚ and nephros‚ meaning kidneys. This is in reference to the physical location of the adrenal glands in a person’s body‚ atop the kidneys.

down the spinal cord. Both the chemical messenger and the nerve impulse will travel to the adrenal gland. These nerve signals activate the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine into the bloodstream. It’s important to note that although known as both a neurotransmitter and a hormone‚ norepinephrine works alongside epinephrine as a hormone in times of stress. The release of these two hormones acts as catalyst for all of the body’s reactions. The hormones bind to receptors and trigger

When put under stress this gland is stimulated by the nervous system and releases adrenaline into the blood stream. The release of adrenaline is a three step process. First‚ the hypothalamus produces hormones that stimulate the pituitary gland. Next‚ the pituitary gland then produces corticotropin hormones
