Q

Other name for Norepinephrine

A

Noradrenaline

36
Q

AKA ADRENALINE isa hormone and neurotransmitter used to treat allergic reactions, to restore cardiac rhythm.

A

Epinephrine

37
Q

Use of Epinephrine

A

To treat Allergic Reactions
To restore Cardiac Rhythm

38
Q

Use of Epinephrine in Allergic Reaction

A

For severe allergic reactions which lead to hypotension, epinephrinehelps to INCREASE BLOOD FLOW THROUGH VEINS by CONSTRICTING BLOOD VESSELS. By binding to receptors on smooth muscles of the lungs, epinephrine helps to RELAX the MUSCLES blocking the airways and allows BREATHING to RETURN to NORMAL.

39
Q

Use of Epinephrine in Restoring Cardiac Rhythm

A

In the heart, itINCREASES the RATE and FORCE of CONTRACTION, thus INCREASING the output of blood and raising blood pressure.

40
Q

Norepinephrine AKA Noradrenaline isa naturally occurring chemical in the body that acts as both a ____________ and _____________(a substance that sends signals between nerve cells).

A

stress hormone
neurotransmitter

41
Q

Norepinephrine is released into the BLOOD as a _____________ when the brain perceives that a stressful event has occurred.

A

stress hormone

42
Q

Increases alertness, arousal and attention. Constricts blood vessels, which helps maintain blood pressure in times of stress. Affects your SLEEP-WAKE cycle, mood.

A

Norepinephrine

43
Q

A substance that sends signals between nerve cells.

A

Neurotransmitter

44
Q

Vasoconstriction also helps to maintain ________ in times of stress.

A

blood pressure

45
Q

Norepinephrine effect in SLEEP-WAKE CYCLE

A

Increases sleep by EXCITING A SUBSET OF NEURONS IN the VLPO (ventrolateral preoptic (VLPO) nucleus in the ANTERIOR HYPOTHALAMUS is the major area of the brain that controls sleep induction and maintenance.)

46
Q

VLPO meaning

A

ventrolateral preoptic

47
Q

The major area of the brain that controls SLEEP INDUCTION and MAINTENANCE.

A

Hypothalamus

48
Q

Norepinephrine effect FOR MOOD

A

It has been shown to play a role in a person’s mood and ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE.

49
Q

Low levels of norepinephrine may lead to conditions such as ?

A

attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) & depression

50
Q

Dopamine is a _________________ that plays several important roles in cells.

52
Q

High or low levels of __________ are associated with several mental health and neurological diseases.

A

Dopamine

53
Q

Dopamine can providean intense feeling of __________. Dopamine is most notably involved in helping us feel pleasure as part of the brain’s reward systemic.

A

reward

54
Q

Compounds lacking catechol hydroxyl groups.

A

Non-catecholamines

55
Q

Examples of non-catecholamines

A decongestant that is used to treat stuffy nose and sinus congestion caused by the common cold, hay fever, or other allergies.

A

Phenylephrine

57
Q
