|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Term
| NE and EPI are secreted from the adrenal medulla, and are known as ___________. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Both EPI and NE are adrenergic neurotransmitter, both stimulate a sympathetic response. What are there differences? |
|
Definition
| EPI causes relaxtion or inhibition of some smooth muscle. EPI relaxes airways causing bronchodilation. |
