no.
Is a potent vasodilator.
the hormone binds to an epinephrine receptor on the cell surface
Vasoconstrictor fibers
Hyper Epinephrine is over production of epinephrine by theadrenal medulla, (which could be due to a tumor in the medulla) although there are other causes. epinephrine causes, vaso-constriction which causes increased blood pressure. it also causes increased blood glucose levels.
epinephrine which comes from the sympathetic response (flight or fight)Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine.

No, epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor. Commonly given to slow bleeding.
Smoking constricts the bloodvessels causing poor circulation and a higher workload on the heart to get blood to all the organs and extremities of the body. It increases chances for heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and all cancers.
reduces risk of toxic reaction, and helps control bleeding
Adrenaline (epinephrine) can help stop bleeding because it is a vasoconstrictor.
Epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor commonly added to local anesthetics. Its purpose is to increase the duration of the anesthetic by slowing down the systemic metabolism of the anesthetic. In other words, epinephrine decreases blood flow in the area of the injection, thereby keeping the anesthetic in the area longer and extending the anesthetic effect.
alcohol is a vasodilator at lower doses but at higher doses it acts as a vasocontrictor. (1) caffeine is a vasoconstrictor. hence the help you receive from drinking coffee with aspirin after getting a headache related to drinking alcohol. (1) - http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-are-the-effects-of-a As a general guideline, most stimulants will act as vasoconstrictors and most depressants will act as vasodilators. There are obvious exceptions to this rule (such as NO2)
The answer to this true or false question is false. I got this answer from the last part... constrictor. constricting means to get smaller. There for the answer is false.
Benadryl contains one of several antihistamines. The antihistamine is an inhibitor of histamine. The histamine is a vasodilator produced by the body to dilate the blood vessels in the body. The antihistamine has the properties of acting as a vasoconstrictor by inhibiting the vasodilator effects of histamine. Therefore, the antihistamine constricts a little bit the blood vessels which means that it could increase the blood pressure of the individual.
No
epinephrine and norpepinephrine
Indeed.
