Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a hormone and medication which is involved in regulating visceral functions (e.g., respiration). It plays a key role in the fight-or-flight response by increasing blood flow to muscles, output of the heart, pupil dilation, and blood sugar. It does this by binding to alpha and beta receptors. It causes dilation of bronchioles, increases heart rate, and generally constricts blood vessels to redirect blood to major muscle groups. However, it decreases digestive functions rather than increasing them, as the body prioritizes other functions during a stress response.
