wat is adrenaline?

Question

ive heard that extreme anger can create adrenaline and that adrenaline make you stronger.wat does this all mean?

Answer 1

Adrenaline also called epinephrine and norepinephrine stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. This stimulation causes an increse in the heart rate and increased blood pressure as well as the other symptoms associated with severe stress. When a person jumps from a plane they experience an adrenaline rush, just like when lets say if you were to find lets say your family pet under someones car tire , the stess would release mega amounts of adrenaline into your system and you could find the strength to lift the car enough so your pet could be freed. That kind of strength doesnt always happen but it can.

Answer 2

Adrenaline is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, that helps the body meet physical or emotional stress. Note: Adrenaline plays a very large role in the fight or flight reaction, which refers to the various processes that occur within the body when it is confronted with some form of mental or physical stress. Note: Figuratively, the term adrenaline is used in speaking of a high state of excitement: “When the race began, the adrenaline really started pumping.”

Answer 3

Adrenaline is a hormone produced by glands just above your kidneys. This hormone provides a burst of energy and is what is called a "fight or flight" response. When feeling threatened or some other intense emotion liek anger, the hormone is a way for your body to prepare to defend itself, or to get the heck outta harm's way.

Answer 4

Adrenaline or epinephrine is producded by adrenal gland and when your sympathetic nervous system is stimulated. This system is reponsible for maintaing blood pressure, cardiac output, keeps you breathing and raises your blood sugar.

When you are afraid and in extreme danger of sorts this adrenaline kicks in and provides the body with all of the above mentioned and helps you out of whatever quandry you may find yourself in. It is also called flight or fight syndrome.

Answer 5

Epinephrine plays a central role in the short-term stress reaction—the physiological response to threatening, exciting or environmental stressor conditions such as high noise levels or bright light (see Fight-or-flight response). It is secreted by the adrenal medulla. When released into the bloodstream, epinephrine binds to multiple receptors and has numerous effects throughout the body. It increases heart rate and stroke volume, dilates the pupils, and constricts arterioles in the skin and gut while dilating arterioles in leg muscles. It elevates the blood sugar level by increasing hydrolysis of glycogen to glucose in the liver, and at the same time begins the breakdown of lipids in adipocytes. Epinephrine has a suppressive effect on the immune system.

Epinephrine is used as a drug to promote peripheral vascular resistance via alpha-stimulated vasoconstriction in cardiac arrest and other cardiac dysrhythmias resulting in diminished or absent cardiac output, such that blood is shunted to the body's core. This beneficial action comes with a significant negative consequence—increased cardiac irritability—which may lead to additional complications immediately following an otherwise successful resuscitation. Alternatives to this treatment include vasopressin, a powerful antidiuretic which also increases peripheral vascular resistance leading to blood shunting via vasoconstriction, but without the attendant increase to myocardial irritability.

Because of its suppressive effect on the immune system, epinephrine is used to treat anaphylaxis and sepsis. Allergy patients undergoing immunotherapy may receive an epinephrine rinse before the allergen extract is administered, thus reducing the immune response to the administered allergen. It is also used as a bronchodilator for asthma if specific beta-2-adrenergic agonists are unavailable or ineffective. Adverse reactions to epinephrine include palpitations, tachycardia, anxiety, headache, tremor, hypertension, and acute pulmonary edema.

A pheochromocytoma is a tumor of the adrenal gland (or, rarely, the ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system), which secretes excessive amounts of catecholamines, usually epinephrine.

Answer 6

Epinephrine (INN) or adrenaline (BAN) is a hormone and a neurotransmitter. A neurotransmitter is a specific kind of hormone, released by neurons to regulate activity of target tissues (e.g. brain cells, muscle cells,...). The Latin roots ad-+renes and the Greek roots epi-+nephros both literally mean "on/to the kidney" (referring to the adrenal gland, which secretes epinephrine). Epinephrine is sometimes shortened to epi in medical jargon.

Answer 7

A hormone secreted by the adrenal gland into the circulatory system which stimulates the heart, blood vessels and respiratory system, used to prepare the body for emergency situations, eg, by increasing the heart rate. It has widespread effects on circulation, muscles and the provision of energy.
