adrenaliiniaapinefriiniä
Adrenaliiniaapinefriiniä, also known as adrenaline, is a hormone and neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in the body's response to stress and emergency situations. It is produced by the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, and is released into the bloodstream in response to physical or psychological stress. Adrenaline acts on various organs and tissues, including the heart, lungs, and muscles, to prepare the body for the "fight or flight" response. This response includes increased heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate, as well as the release of glucose from the liver to provide energy. Adrenaline also plays a role in the body's immune response and is involved in the regulation of blood flow to muscles during exercise. In medical settings, adrenaline is used as a medication to treat conditions such as severe allergic reactions, cardiac arrest, and anaphylaxis. It is typically administered via injection or inhalation. Adrenaline is a derivative of the amino acid tyrosine and is structurally related to other catecholamines, such as noradrenaline and dopamine. The term "adrenaline" was coined by J.H. Burn in 1901, and it is derived from the adrenal glands, which were named by the ancient Greeks.
