The Adrenal Glands
• Epinephrine = adrenaline
• Increases bld glucose
• Stimulates release of ACTH from pituitary
• Increases the rate and force of cardiac contractions
• Constricts bld vessels in skin, mucous membrane, kidneys
• Dilates bld vessels in skeletal muscles, coronary arteries, pulmonary
arteries
I think this is the reason ICers have more pain when stressed or having problems with adrenal glands.
