7. (4 pts) Explain your allergic (inflammation) response to the bee sting. How will this response affect your BP? After being stung by the bee, one indicator that you are having an allergic reaction in this case is extreme redness of the skin. The bee sting injected allergens into your body and your body overreacts trying to fight off the allergens and cause an allergic reaction.There are minor allergic reactions and more severe ones. In this case if my body is turning red everywhere, and not

Adrenal Glands Adrenal gland is pyramidal shape gland situated above each kidney. They are consisted of two parts, which is adrenal medulla (internal part) and adrenal cortex (external part). Each gland only weight four gram. These parts are like the anterior and posterior pituitary, are two functionally distinct endocrine glands. Hypothalamus is taking control of both adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla. When the stress occurred, either emotional or physical trauma, prompts the hypothalamus to

Stress affects the body in many different ways. Many doctors estimate that stress is involved in more than half of all illnesses (Sapolsky, 21). Stress may cause or prolong an illness or increase its severity. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are hormones that are released during a stress reaction that affect organs throughout the body. As a result from the hormones being secreted, the heart begins to beat more rapidly, muscle tension increases, blood pressure raises

how is the endocrine system activated? How does it become deactivated? The stress response involved the HPA-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. First, the hypothalamus activates the sympathetic nervous system. The adrenal gland then secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine, which increase heart rate. The pituitary gland produces hormones that tell the adrenal gland to secrete cortisol, which is involved with the release of stored energy. The negative feedback loop comes into effect when the hypothalamus

It was the end of my second day in a new emergency room where I was starting a midnight shift contract. Approximately 06:45 an EMS came into one of my rooms with a patient stating he was having chest pain. The paramedic was giving me report and telling me that he was unsure about the EKG he had obtained on the way in and that the patient had not been feeling well all night. Upon looking at the EKG I noted ST elevation, was able to get a physician and additional assistance into the room within minutes

Applications Many medical appliances have been produced and developed by and for the military, including epinephrine (epipens). Epipens are auto-injectors that release a synthetic version of adrenaline- epinephrine. Epipens were originally used to give soldiers an adrenaline rush in the 1970s.2 The study of epinephrine gave rise to other medical uses from the battlefield, in succession epinephrine became a conventional drug that is used to relieve allergic reactions. A prime example of medical use of

Abstract This paper will be exploring two main topics with the first being “sympathomimetics” which are drugs that produce physiological effects of the sympathetic nervous system by promoting the stimulation of the sympathetic nerves. We will be considering how the process of stimulation from sympathomimetic drugs occur and how they affect the sympathetic nervous system and what medications that can promote or inhibit a sympathomimetic response. The second topic being “anticholinergics” which are

The interpretation of stress is believed to occur in the cerebral cortex of the brain based upon sensory and other input (such as from chemo-receptors). The two categories of stress act through somewhat different neurological mechanisms, but the general features are similar. Cognitive processes are involved in the assessment of the input for both categories as to whether the input represents a potential threat in a routine manner. The amygdala appears to have a central role in the stress response

actions, and so regulate metabolic, cardiovascular, immune and behavioural processes2. One which is relevant to responding to stress is the target of the adrenal medulla which when targeted increases PMNT expression and activity which stimulates epinephrine synthesis3. Another important target is the liver where the effect is an increased expression of gluconeogenic enzymes3 which helps to increase metabolic activity. The heart is also a target where the effect is increased contractility3. Acute
