Question:

How does epinephrine work during accidents and emergencies?


Answers:

In a panic situation; there is increased neuron firing in the brain. This causes the pituitary gland to think that there is some sort of emergency. It then releases hormones telling the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline or epinephrine. This has many effects on the body– liver releases sugar into the blood for extra energy, pupils dilate, heart beat increases, breathing tube open more; thus rapid breathing; sweating occurs and nerve cells speed up.

Epinephrine is also responsible for that euphoric effect created by dopamine. in the brain. And for that " flight or fight action in an emergency situation. The adrenaline or epinephrine rush is then responsible for the increased activity of the person involved.
