Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter that acts as a hormone when released into the bloodstream. It has a number of effects, one of which is to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. This stimulation causes the release of epinephrine (adrenaline) and other hormones, which in turn promote the "fight or flight" response. One effect of this response is the dilation of the airways (bronchi) in the lungs, which allows more oxygen to be taken up by the blood.
