What are drugs that mimic the sympathetic nervous system?
norepinephrine/noradrenaline working in tandem with epinephrine/adrenaline
What terminology is applied to nerves that release nor-epinephrine?
Nerves that release nor-epinephrine are classified as noradrenergic nerves. Noradrenergic nerves are part of the sympathetic nervous system and play a role in the body's fight-or-flight response.
What neurotransmitter is produced in the brain and by the adrenal glands?
Little quantity of noradrenaline (epinephrine) is released by adrenal medulla.
What is the fate of the neutotransmitter after its release from the vesicles in the presynaptic neuron?
Noradrenaline or nor-epinephrine released in post ganglionic sympathetic nerve endings is taken up back by the nerves producing it. While acetyl choline secreted by preganglionic nerves and post ganglionic parasympathetic fibres are destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, in milliseconds.
What is the function of epinephrine and nor epinephrine?
Think of these as the 'fight or flight' stimulants.They increase heart rate, heart volume and contraction force.Blood flow to the limbs is increased.Blood flow to the digestive organs is reduced.Broncho dilation, pupil dilation... there are many and varied effects across the body.

What controls the adrenal medulla?
The adrenal medulla is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system through the release of the hormone adrenaline (epinephrine). These signals originate in the hypothalamus and travel down the spinal cord to stimulate the adrenal medulla to release adrenaline in response to stress or danger.
What gland is associated with the production of epinephrine and nor-epinephrine two hormones that are associated with stress?
Adrenal glands
Can you combine Wellbutrin XL and pristiq?
yespristiq raises nor-epinephrine or epinephrine and serotonin while wellbutrin raises dopamine and I think epinephrine. or adrenaline
Inervation of the heart?
Although the heart is often sast to work Autonomously (which it does) it also receives signals from the Autonomic Nervous System. This system has to parts the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic system is activated when the body is in danger and stimulates the body to prepare for action (the "fight of Flight" response). This involves an increase in the heart rate. There is not name for the sypmathetic branches that innervate the heart by they increase the heart rate by releasing Nor-epinephrine onto the SA node (the region that controls the heart rate). It also stimulates the release of Epinephrin from the Adrenal Medulla in the Kidneys. Epinephrin and nor epinephrine both stimulate the increase in heart rate (the mechanisms stray too far into physiology to answer this question here). The parasympathetic innervation of the heart comes from a nerve called the Vagus Nerve (CN x). It acts like a limitter on the heart rate holding it at a steady pace, its action decreases when the sympathetic innervation starts.
What are catecholamines?
It is an amine attached to a catechol group thus the name catecholamine, they are naturally occurring hormones and nerotransmitters such as: dopamine, epinephrine & nor-epinephrine.
What is the fate of the neutotransmitter after its release from the vesicles in the presynaptic neuron?
Noradrenaline or nor-epinephrine released in post ganglionic sympathetic nerve endings is taken up back by the nerves producing it. While acetyl choline secreted by preganglionic nerves and post ganglionic parasympathetic fibres are destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, in milliseconds.

What hormones released in response to stressors?
Cortisol, and adrenaline. Cortisol the primary stress hormone, increases sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream, enhances your brain's use of glucose and increases the availability of substances that repair tissues. Adrenaline increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure and boosts energy supplies.
What is the function of Nor epinephrine?
This hormone is released during stress by adrenal medulla. This hormone gears up your body for fight or flight response.
