Anatomically, the adrenal medulla develops from neural crest tissue, and it is directly controlled by sympathetic NS. The medullary cells respond to this stimulation by releasing epineprhrine (80%) or norepinephrine (20%), which can act in conjunction with the sympathetic NS to elicit the fight-or-flight response to stressors.
epinephrine, from the adrenal medulla.
Norepinephrine/Noradrenaline working with Epinephrine/Adrenaline
epinephrine and norepinephrine
These are called 'sympathomimetics' - so called because they mimic the effects of sympathetic nervous system activation. A common example of a sympathomimetic drug is salbutamol, which is the active ingredient found in Asthma inhalers (the one that gives instant relief from wheezing). Salbutamol binds to an activates a subclass of beta-adrenergic receptors found in the airways. In doing so, it relaxes the bronchial muscles (bronchodilation) causing the airways to open up.
The sympathetic nervous system, as part of the peripheral nervous system, is composed of 2 types of nerves: pre-ganglionic & post-ganglionic. The preganglionic neurons release acetylcholine on postganglionic neurons to excite them. And the postganglionic neurons generally release adrenergic neurons (epinephrine or norepinephrine) on their target organs. In most cases the post-ganglionic release of epinephrine or norepinephrine acts as a neurotransmitter, except for one exception.
When stimulated by preganglionic sympathetic fibers, the adrenal glands release epinephrine (also called adrenalin) or norepinephrine (also called noradrenalin) into the blood which then acts like a hormone.
The hormone that produces cardiovascular effects similar to activation of the sympathetic nervous system is epinephrine.
adrenaline, or epinephrine if your in the USA
epinephrine
For short-term stress it is epinephrine and norepinephrine. For long-term stress it is cortisol.
The adrenal glands.
Sympathetic stimulation results in renin secretion by the kidneys and causes a relaxation of the bladder. Accompanied by a constriction of the bladder sphincter, sympathetic stimulation tends to decrease urination and promote fluid retention.
with stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system there will be a. constriction of the pupils b. dilation of the coronary arteries c. constriction of selected blood vessels d. profuse sweating
No sypathetic nervous system does not raise blood sugar. It decreaces blood sugar concentration by providing that sugar(glucose) as an energy source to muscles which are under fight or flight response.
Heart muscles has there own rhythm of contraction. The sinoatrial node has the fastest rate of contraction. That is why it governs the rhythm of the heart. You have the control of the autonomic nervous system over the heart rate. Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system increase the heart rate. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system decrease the heart rate.
parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems
epinephrine and norepinephrine stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
Sympathetic stimulation results in renin secretion by the kidneys and causes a relaxation of the bladder. Accompanied by a constriction of the bladder sphincter, sympathetic stimulation tends to decrease urination and promote fluid retention.

Norepinephrine is released from the sympathetic nervous system. Norepinephrine is a stress hormone which affects parts of the brain and causes the heart to beat more rapidly.
Denoting a drug that mimics the effects of stimulation of organs and structures by the sympathetic nervous system.
A sympathomimetic drug mimics the physiological effects caused by the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. Note the keyword : Mimic A sympatholytic drug oppses/ blocks the physiological effects caused by stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system HOPE THIS HELPS! :)
Sympathetic stimulations are signals to the body that imply stress. Sympathetic stimulation stimulates the sympathetic part of the peripheral nervous system and results in multiple response such as increased cardiac output, dilation of the pupil, inhibition of the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, and erection of the penis.
Sympathetic stimulation of the liver increases glycogenolysis and lipolysis to make energy more available to metabolic processes.
with stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system there will be a. constriction of the pupils b. dilation of the coronary arteries c. constriction of selected blood vessels d. profuse sweating
End diastolic volume and sympathetic nervous system stimulation
Blood pressure would increase due to sympathetic nervous system stimulation.
Sympathetic stimulation of the chromaffmin cells of the adrenal medulla stimulates the release of their catecholamines. The neurotransmitter is acetylcholine
