Epinephrine stimulates the heart and inhibits the small intestine. This hormone is secreted during emergency to fight or flight. here you need to stimulate the heart to increase the cardiac output five times to face the challenges. Your digestion can take a rest in emergency. So the small intestine is inhibited.

How could epinephrine be used for someone bleeding from an injury?
Epinephrine is a hormone commonly known as Adrenalin. The body normally releases this during a time of stress, injury etc. The effects of epinephrine on the body are increased breathing rate, increased (systolic) blood pressure, increased heart rate. Now, if someone were bleeding due to an injury, an increased heart rate will cause an increase in the blood loss. The reason that epinephrine is administered to a patient is usually for a sever allergic reaction or to restore a rhythm in cardiac arrest.
Does the effect of epinephrine mimic the effect of the sympathetic nervous system or the parasympathetic nervous system?
epinephrine (or adrenaline in the UK) mimics the effects of norepinephrine (noradrenaline in UK), so activates the SNS, not the PSNS.
When the body senses a state of hypoperfusion the sympathetic nervous system releases epinephrine the effects of which include?

What is the difference between epinepherin and norepinepherin?
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are two very structurally similar molecules. They've both involved in the sympathetic part of your autonomic nervous system. Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is a hormone which is secreted from the adrenal medulla when activated by the sympathetic nervous system (during times of stress). Norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline) is a neurotransmitter that is released by neurons in the sympathetic nervous system. Epinephrine and norepinephrine generally produce the same effects as they both interact with adrenergic receptors in the body. Epinephrine is structurally different from norepinephrine as epinephrine has a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the nitrogen atom (making it a secondary amine), whereas norepinephrine is just a primary amine. Image google 'norepinephrine and epinephrine' to view their chemical structures.
