What else can I help you with?
Which of your endocrine glands is most likely to release a hormone in response to this situation?
The adrenal glands are most likely to release hormones in response to a stressful situation. When faced with stress, the adrenal medulla releases adrenaline (epinephrine), which prepares the body for a "fight or flight" response by increasing heart rate, blood flow, and energy availability. Additionally, the adrenal cortex may release cortisol, which helps regulate metabolism and manage stress.
Why do diabetics inject insulin into the skin and not directly into the bloodstream?
It is not injected into the skin, it is injected into fat. If it was injected into the bloodstream it would act too quickly and most likely kill you.
Which words most likely means a condition in which a person has elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream?
Hypoglycemia is the word that means a condition in which a person has elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream.
Is Epinephrine the most significant hormone released by the pineal gland?
No, the pineal gland secretes melatonin. The adrenal gland secretes epinephrine.
How does long does it take for zanax to get out your system?
If you used Xanax only once, then it will most likely be gone from your bloodstream in 3 to 5 days. But if you take Xanax frequently, it will take 4 to 5 weeks for it to be gone from your bloodstream.
What is epinephrine's density?
This depends on how the epinephrine is packaged as a medication. The two most common dilutions of epinephrine are 1:1,000 and 1:10,000, but this is not the density. Density: Epinephrine that is 1:1,000 has a density of 1mg/ml. Epinephrine that is 1:10,000 has a density of 0.1mg/ml. (Density = mass/volume) (Here the mass is in milligrams and the volume in milliliters.) -Chemistry!
What are drugs that mimic the sympathetic nervous system?
norepinephrine/noradrenaline working in tandem with epinephrine/adrenaline
What does the medical abbreviation with epi mean?
"With epi" means with epinephrine. It's used most often when referring to lidocaine, which can be bottled with or without epinephrine.
Can you use an epi pen for seizures?
Epinephrine will NOT help to stop seizures, epinephrine autoinjectors are strictly meant for anaphylaxis. If the person experiences a seizure while having an anaphylactic response (hypoxia due to bronchial constriction) it should be given. If given epinephrine for a seizure due to epilepsy, it will most likely make the seizure worse by stimulating the CNS even more. Valium autoinjectors may soon become popular for epileptic type seizures.
What are the release dates for Most Likely To--- - 2013?

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.
What hormone is released by stressors?
Stress, whether physical or mental, causes release of several hormonal mediators. The most rapidly released is adrenaline, or epinephrine, from the adrenal medulla. Cortisol is also released from the adrenal cortex, causing tissues to be more responsive to the epinephrine and increasing glucose availability for the flight or fight response.
