MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Epinephrine is part of your sympathetic nervous system, which is part of your body’s emergency response system to danger-the “fight-or-flight” response. Medically, the flight-or-flight response is known as the acute stress response. Epinephrine is also called a catecholamine, as are norepinephrine and dopamine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Epinephrine and norepinephrine are similar chemicals that act as both neurotransmitters and hormones in the body. Both substances play an important role in the body’s fight or flight response, and their release into the bloodstream causes increases in blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epinephrine and norepinephrine are the hormones behind your “fight-or-flight” response (also called the fight, flight, or freeze response). When you experience stress, these two hormones leap into action. They also play roles in some of your everyday bodily functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adrenaline is a hormone released from the adrenal glands and its major action, together with noradrenaline, is to prepare the body for ‘fight or flight’.

Detailed explanation-5: -When you’re scared or stressed suddenly, adrenaline is quickly sent into your body. This is commonly known as an adrenaline rush because it happens so fast. You’ve probably heard of “fight or flight.” Adrenaline is what gets your body ready to fight or flee danger.
