Which of the following options best describes how epinephrine (adrenaline) is released into the
bloodstream?
O The sympathetic nervous system stimulates the hypothalamus, which releases sends signals to the anterior
pituitary gland, which releases epinephrine into the blood
O The sympathetic nervous system stimulates the adrenal medulla, which releases epinephrine into the blood
O The parasympathetic nervous system stimulates the adrenal medulla, which releases epinephrine into the blood
O The vagus nerve stimulates the adrenal medulla, which releases epinephrine into the blood
The parasympathetic nervous system stimulates the adrenal cortex, which releases epinephrine into the blood
If a person is given an experimental drug, which response would indicate that this drug is an norepinephrine/epinephrine agonist?
decreased blood pressure
pupil constriction
constriction of respiratory airways
high blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
decreased heart rate
Reserpine is a drug that can control high blood pressure by reducing the number of catecholamine neurotransmitters present in the synapse. Epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine are examples of catecholamine neurotransmitters. One of the known side effects of reserpine is to cause the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson's disease is associated with dopamine. Parkinson's disease occurs when the nerve cells in the part of the brain that controls muscle movement are gradually destroyed and the neurons can no longer produce dopamine to coordinate muscle movements.
Reserpine causes symptoms by
a. inhibiting the release of dopamine from the presynaptic neuron
b. blocking the dopamine receptor in the postsynaptic neuron
c. breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the synapse
d. breaking down cholinesterase enzyme in the synapse
