Adrenaline: a catecholamine hormone secreted by the adrenal gland in response to stress (when it stimulates the autonomic nervous system)
Epinephrine (also called adrenaline) is a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla section of the adrenal gland and released primarily in response to hypoglycemia; it is also produced as a synthetic drug A powerful vasopressor substance, epinephrine acts to increase blood pressure and stimulate the heart muscle, accelerating the heart rate and increasing cardiac output
a catecholamine secreted by the adrenal medulla in response to stress (trade name Adrenalin); stimulates autonomic nerve action
Epinephrine is a naturally occurring hormone, also called adrenaline It is one of two chemicals (the other is norepinephrine) released by the adrenal gland Epinephrine increases the speed and force of heart beats and thereby the work that can be done by the heart It dilates the airways to improve breathing and narrows blood vessels in the skin and intestine so that an increased flow of blood reaches the muscles and allows them to cope with the demands of exercise Epinephrine has been produced synthetically as a drug since 1900 It remains the drug of choice for treatment of anaphylaxis
-a hormone made by the medulla (center) of the adrenal gland, and also made in the brain and other parts of the nervous system It is a potent stimulator of heart rate, tightens some blood vessels while relaxing others, and relaxes the bronchi (tubes) in the lungs In the brain it is considered a neurotransmitter that leads to alertness and vigilance Epinephrine is made from norepinephrine
A form of adrenaline medication used to treat severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock or insect stings It is available in a self-injectable form or can be injected by a healthcare provider
a naturally occurring hormone, also called adrenaline, used to treat anaphylaxis
one of two chemicals (the other is norepinephrine) released by the adrenal gland that increases the speed and force of heart beats It dilates the airways to improve breathing and narrows blood vessels in the skin and intestine so that an increased flow of blood reaches the muscles and allows them to cope with the demands of exercise
(also known as adrenaline): A hormone, also used as a drug used to treat anaphylactic shock
also called adrenaline Hormone synthesized by the medulla of the adrenal gland responsible, in part, for the "fight or flight" response
one of two chemicals (the other is norepinephrine) released by the adrenal gland that increases the speed and force of heartbeats It dilates the airways to improve breathing and narrows blood vessels in the skin and intestine so that an increased flow of blood reaches the muscles and allows them to cope with the demands of exercise It is also a drug that can be given in anaphylactic emergencies
or adrenaline One of two hormones (the other being norepinephrine) secreted by the adrenal glands, as well as at some nerve endings (see neuron), where they serve as neurotransmitters. They are similar chemically and have similar actions on the body. They increase the rate and force of heart contractions, increasing blood output and raising blood pressure. Epinephrine also stimulates breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver, raising blood glucose levels, and both hormones increase the level of circulating free fatty acids. All these actions ready the body for action in times of stress or danger, times requiring increased alertness or exertion. Epinephrine is used in medical situations including cardiac arrest, asthma, and acute allergic reaction (see allergy). See also dopamine
Known as "adrenaline" outside the USA A hormone produced by the adrenal gland Released into the bloodstream it produces: Increased heart rate Increased blood pressure Sweating Mixed with local anesthetic it constricts the local blood vessel producing: Longer anesthesia Reduced bleeding
One of several hormones made in the adrenal glands It helps the liver release glucose (sugar), and limits the release of insulin from the pancreas Epinephrine is responsible for some of the symptoms of hypoglycemia, including anxiety, sweating, tremor, pallor, nausea, and rapid heart beat Epinephrine is also called adrenalin It is available as a prescription medication, for treating severe allergic reactions by antagonizing the effects of histamine and reducing capillary permeability
A form of adrenaline medication used to treat severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock or insect stings It is available in self-injectable form or can be injected by a health care provider
adrenergic substance made by the adrenal gland Responsible for the physical symptoms of anxiety and fear Also called adrenaline
A hormone, also called as adrenaline It is produced by the medulla of the adrenal gland It is used in circulatory collapse, relieves asthmatic attacks and other allergic reactions
One of the secretions of the adrenal glands It helps the liver release glucose (sugar) and limit the release of insulin It also makes the heart beat faster and can raise blood pressure; also called adrenalin
