What is hyper epinephrine what is hyper prodoction of aderenalin?
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.
What neurotransmitter causes low blood pressure?
The neurotransmitter epinephrine can cause the blood pressure to become low. This neurotransmitter also regulated the heart rate. It is often controlled by stress.
What makes racemic epinephrine more effective?
Because it causes less cardiovascular side effects than common epinephrine
What hormone causes vasodilation of the blood vessels?
Epinephrine can cause vasodilation provided the level is low enough. If beta-2 recptors are activated (without the level of epinephrine being high enough to involve the significant numbers of alpha receptors), then the effect of epinephrine on the vascular smooth muscle be relaxation, thus, dilation. However, higher levels of epinephrine will activate alpha receptors which will cause vasoconstriction.
Why mix epinephrine with a local anesthetic?
It prevents the anesthetic from being systematically absorbed. The local anesthetic will cause vasodilation, and this can push some of the drug into systemtic circulation. Epinephrine causes vasoconstricton and keeps the anesthetic drug in the area where it was administered.
How does the secretion of epinephrine prepare the body for emergencies?
It initiates the flight or fight response within the body. Epinephrine is just another word for adrenaline. It causes your heart to beat rapidly.
What is the medical term meaning benign tumor of the adrenal medulla that causes the gland to produce excess epinephrine and norepinephrine?
Pheochromocytoma is an adrenal tumor that results in excess epinephrine and norepinephrine
Why does epinephrine induce pulmonary edema?
Increased after load caused by epinephrine's vasoconstrictive properties can cause difficulty ejecting blood from the left ventricle which causes backup into the pulmonary veins.
What is an Abnormal increase of epinephrine?
There are numerous causes, but one of the most "abnormal" would be a pheochromocytoma a neuroendocrine tumor of the medulla of the adrenal gland. That part of the adrenal gland is responsible for producing epinephrine, and the tumor often releases large amounts of epinephrine into the blood.
Adrenal medulla produces what large amounts of the hormone?
epinephrine and norpepinephrine
What causes heart rate to increase during a fight or flight response?
epinephrine and norepinephrine epinephrine and norepinephrine
What causes chondromatosis?
Some of the cases could be caused by standard local anesthetics such as Marcain combined with epinephrine.
