  2. Adrenaline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenaline

    Adrenaline does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier, so its effects on memory consolidation are at least partly initiated by β adrenoceptors in the periphery. Studies have found that sotalol , a β adrenoceptor antagonist that also does not readily enter the brain, blocks the enhancing effects of peripherally administered adrenaline on ...

  3. Sympathetic nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_nervous_system

    The sympathetic nervous system is described as being antagonistic to the parasympathetic nervous system. The latter stimulates the body to "feed and breed" and to (then) "rest-and-digest". The SNS has a major role in various physiological processes such as blood glucose levels, body temperature, cardiac output, and immune system function.

    bronchioles (although minor relative to the relaxing effect of β 2 receptor on bronchioles) blood vessels of ciliary body and (stimulation of dilator pupillae muscles of iris causes mydriasis) Actions also include glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis from adipose tissue and liver; secretion from sweat glands and Na + reabsorption from kidney. [19]

  5. Norepinephrine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norepinephrine

    Stress affects a wide variety of body systems: the two most consistently activated are the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the norepinephrine system, including both the sympathetic nervous system and the locus coeruleus-centered system in the brain. [61]

  6. Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-2_adrenergic_receptor

    Agonists (activators) of the α 2-adrenergic receptor are frequently used in anaesthesia where they affect sedation, muscle relaxation and analgesia through effects on the central nervous system (CNS). [5] In the brain, α 2-adrenergic receptors can be localized either pre- or post-synaptically, and the majority of receptors appear to be post ...

  7. Sympathoadrenal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathoadrenal_system

    Insulin is essential in triggering the sympathoadrenal system (the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine) to respond to hypoglycemia, which then raises glucagon levels. The insulin present in the brain acts on the central nervous system by crossing the blood-brain barrier and affecting the sympathetic nervous system.

  8. Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-1_adrenergic_receptor

    Blood vessels with α 1-adrenergic receptors are present in the skin, the sphincters [4] of gastrointestinal system, kidney (renal artery) [5] and brain. [6] During the fight-or-flight response vasoconstriction results in decreased blood flow to these organs. This accounts for the pale appearance of the skin of an individual when frightened.

  9. Adrenal medulla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_medulla

    The adrenal medulla consists of irregularly shaped cells grouped around blood vessels. These cells are intimately connected with the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). These adrenal medullary cells are modified postganglionic neurons, and preganglionic autonomic nerve fibers lead to them directly from the central ...
