From what I understand it is an increased stimulation resulting from an increase adrenaline via the sympathetic nervous system.
In example, when the heart rate increases and the cardiomyocytes stimulate stronger contractions, thereby increasing in the muscular tone of the heart, one would describe this as increased 'adrenergic tone' given the role of adrenaline in stimulating these events. This would also pertain to increases in smooth muscle tone resulting from adrenalin.
Not positive, but trying to figure this out myself this is what I have concluded.
What else can I help you with?
What part of speech is tone?
The part of speech for 'tone' depends on how it is used. Examples: She will tone her arms by lifting weights. (tone = verb) Please describe the tone of the play. (tone = noun)
How do you say voice tone or tone of voice?
I'm sure that I like your tone of voice. Don't take that tone of voice with me! Your tone of voice belies the sincerity of your statement.
What is the tone of a dream deferred?
The tone is solemn and somewhat melancholic.
Is suspenseful the mood or tone?
Suspenseful is a tone
What is the term used for the writer's attitude toward the story?
tone
What is an adrenergic receptor?
An adrenergic receptor is any of several sites in the surface membranes of cells innervated by adrenergic neurons.
Is epinephrine an adrenergic agonist?
Yes, epinephrine is an adrenergic agonist. It acts on adrenergic receptors in the body, particularly on alpha and beta adrenergic receptors, to increase heart rate, dilate airways, and constrict blood vessels.
Which neurons are classified as an adrenergic fiber?
The neuron classified as an adrenergic fiber is the sympathetic postganglionic neuron.
Is pseudoephedrine an alpha adrenergic?
Yes it is. Its principal mechanism of action relies on its indirect action on the adrenergic receptor system. The vasoconstriction that pseudoephedrine produces is believed to be principally an α-adrenergic receptor response.
What is an adrenoreceptor?
An adrenoreceptor is an adrenergic receptor, any of several sites in the surface membranes of cells innervated by adrenergic neurons.
If a cell has alpha adrenergic receptors is it sensitive to norepinephrine?
Yes, a cell with alpha adrenergic receptors is sensitive to norepinephrine. Activation of alpha adrenergic receptors by norepinephrine can lead to various physiological responses, such as vasoconstriction, pupil dilation, and increased glycogen breakdown.
What causes arterioles to dilate in response to increased sympathetic tone?
Increased sympathetic tone leads to the release of norepinephrine, which binds to alpha-1 adrenergic receptors on arteriolar smooth muscle. This binding initiates a signaling cascade that ultimately results in the relaxation of the smooth muscle, causing the arterioles to dilate.
Are parasympathetic postganglionic fibers generally come from adrenergic fibers?
No, parasympathetic postganglionic fibers do not come from adrenergic fibers. Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers release acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter, whereas adrenergic fibers release norepinephrine.
Beta adrenergic blocking agents are used to?
Beta adrenergic agents serve as inhibitors that prevent beta adrenergic substances (neurotransmitters) such as epinephrine from binding to beta adrenergic receptors (beta 1, beta 2 and beta 3). This prevents the effects of the neurotransmitters thereby reducing blood pressure and heart rate.
What does the adrenergic neuron produce?
Norephinephrine
What type of agent is Albuterol?
adrenergic.
Epinephrine has an affinity to what recepotor?
Epinephrine has an affinity for adrenergic receptors, particularly alpha and beta adrenergic receptors in the sympathetic nervous system.
