Noradrenaline, also known as norepinephrine, is primarily secreted by the adrenal medulla, which is the inner part of the adrenal glands located on top of the kidneys. It is also released by sympathetic nerve endings in the nervous system during the "fight or flight" response. This neurotransmitter plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure, heart rate, and other physiological responses to stress.
What else can I help you with?
What is medullary hormones?
Medullary hormones are hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla, including epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). These hormones are released in response to stress and help regulate the "fight or flight" response in the body.
The sympathetic nervous system releases the neurotransmitter?
Norepinephrine (otherwise known as Noradrenaline). Acetylcholine IS NOT the right answer.
Is adrenaline and noradrenaline the same?
No, adrenaline and noradrenaline are not the same. They are both hormones produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress, but they have slightly different effects in the body. Adrenaline is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, while noradrenaline plays a role in regulating blood pressure and heart rate.
What might happen I'd the person's adrenal glands are not producing enough adrenaline?
It depends. The adrenal gland makes several hormones, including aldosterone, cortisol, DHEA, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, all of which have distinct actions. The outcome of adrenal hormone excess depends on the hormone(s) that is/are excessively secreted.
How long does neurotransmitter stay in the synapse What is the rate of removal of neurotransmitter Is it an exponential decay?
Neurotransmitter stay for few milliseconds only in the synapse. The rate is difficult to define, but then the decay is most probably exponential decay. The acetylcholine is destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinestarage. The noradrenaline is taken up back by the neuron, which has secreted it.
Can adrenaline and noradrenaline secreted at the same time?
No. Both work to lower eachother.

Adrenaline and noradrenaline?
Adrenaline and noradrenaline hormones are secreted in stress conditions. During this the blood vessels dilates and the heart rate increases. BUT actually the function of both the hormone is synergistic in raising the blood pressure. These also release glucose from liver and reinforce the effects of sympathetic system. In the absence of these hormones, the stress conditions are diminished.
Two major neurotransmitters of the autonomic nervous system?
You have acetylcholine liberated at ganglion in both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. You have noradrenaline secreted at post ganglionic sympathetic nerve terminals. You have acetylcholine secreted at post ganglionic parasympathetic nerve terminals.
How can adrenergic drugs stimulate the adrenergic nerves?
This is done through several mechanisms: - Stimulating noradrenaline to be released - Mimicking noradrenaline's action on the receptors -Preventing noradrenaline to be broken down and reuptaken

How does noradrenaline affect the heart rate?
It doesnt

What is SNRI?
SNRI is a class of antidepressants known better as Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors. They increases (to some degree) the amount of serotonin and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) in the brain.
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.
