Epinephrine, more commonly known as adrenaline, is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands. Strong emotions such as fear or anger cause epinephrine to be released into the bloodstream, which causes an increase in heart rate, muscle strength, blood pressure, and sugar metabolism.
What happens when adrenaline is released into the bloodstream?
Key actions of adrenaline include increasing the heart rate, increasing blood pressure, expanding the air passages of the lungs, enlarging the pupil in the eye (see photo), redistributing blood to the muscles and altering the body's metabolism, so as to maximise blood glucose levels (primarily for the brain).
When adrenaline is released into the bloodstream it creates?
Adrenaline is not controlled by negative feedback. When adrenaline is released into the bloodstream it creates multiple effects: increases breathing rate, heart rate, and conversion of glycogen to glucose so more energy is released in the muscles.
