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.
What hormone is released from stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system?
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/Adrenalineepinephrine and norepinephrine
What is the effect of drugs in human?
The effects of drugs are to alter, mimic, change, interfere, kill, stop, speed, accelerate, decelerate, etc. aspects of the both the physical/physiological body or produce central nervous system effects. On a general level, prescribed drugs (taken as directed) can relieve symptoms of viruses, bacterial illness, disease and pain. There are always side effects, and some people notice them more than others. Misuse of drugs often is due to these other side effects--mood changing, euphoria and so on. At this level, drugs can affect human behavior, lifestyle and relationships and may be addicting.
What drugs can mimic or block the molecules involved in the communication between cells in the human body?
Can affect operations of both the human brain and the human body
How does ectasy mimic natural neurotransmitters?
Ectasy (MDMA) is a derivative amphetamine. It is similar to the natural drug ephedrine and may be a alpha/beta agonist (mimics both epinephrine and noradrenaline). What is more clear is that a secondary effect of the drug is an increased release of dopamine and serotinin in the central nervous system (see NIH article).
What is the difference between sympathomimetic and sympatholytic drugs?
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! :)
What does sympathomiminic mean?
An agent that mimics the effects of the sympathetic nervous system.Example: Epinephrine and norepinephrine are sympathomimetic hormones because they produce effects that mimic those brought about by the sympathetic nervous system.
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.
Which part of the nervous system prepares the body for fight or flight?
The Autonomic Nervous system is responsible for fight or flight. Parasympathetic is the stimulator and the sympathetic is the one that calms. Many drugs mimic this system Hope this helps A RN in NJ Source: Taught Anatomy and Physiology to nursing students for over 2 years my head
What is difference between sympathomimetic and anticholinergic?
Sympathomimetic drugs mimic the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, while anticholinergic drugs block the action of the parasympathetic nervous system, resulting in decreased secretions and relaxation of smooth muscle. Sympathomimetics typically work by stimulating adrenergic receptors, while anticholinergics work by blocking acetylcholine receptors.
What drugs mimic the action of natriuretic peptides?
Natrecor
How might psychologists use drugs that mimic the effects of neurotransmitters to treat psychological disorders?
psychologists use drugs like high drugs which alerts our minds in unconscious behavior and these mimic the effect of neurotransmitter in our body

What mimics alcohol in the blood system?
If you mean in terms of testing, nothing. Some depressant drugs will mimic some of the effects of alcohol as regards behavior, affect and physical symptoms.

What are the antagonists to antipsychotics?
any drugs that can increase dopamine concentration at synapses: L-dopaamphetamineany drugs that mimic dopamine action : e.g. bromocriptine
