Detailed explanation-1: -Adrenaline makes your heart beat faster and your lungs breathe more efficiently. It causes the blood vessels to send more blood to the brain and muscles, increases your blood pressure, makes your brain more alert, and raises sugar levels in the blood to give you energy. Your pupils grow larger and you sweat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Key actions of adrenaline include increasing the heart rate, increasing blood pressure, expanding the air passages of the lungs, enlarging the pupil in the eye (see photo), redistributing blood to the muscles and altering the body’s metabolism, so as to maximise blood glucose levels (primarily for the brain).
Detailed explanation-3: -Health conditions that result from low levels of epinephrine include: Anxiety. Depression. Headaches.
Detailed explanation-4: -Adrenaline (Epinephrine) belongs to a group of medicines used for the treatment of serious shock produced by a severe allergic reaction or collapse. It may also be used to restart your heart if it has stopped.
