Both norad and adrenaline increases BP, but by different mechanism...

> Adreanaline increases BP by constricting blood vessles

>Noradrenaline Increases BP by increasing HR > Increase Impulse conduction > increase contraction > Increaseing volume expelled> thus increasing BP

> Noradrenaline causes: (i) constriction of the cutaneous vessels; (ii) constriction

of the vessels in skeletal muscle (adrenaline causes transient vasodilatation);

(iii) bradyeardia (adrenaline causes tachycardia); (iv) rise in both

systolic and diastolic pressures (adrenaline causes a rise in systolic pressure and

either does not effect or causes a slight fall in diastolic pressure).
