Difference between Epinephrine (medication) and Vasoconstriction

Epinephrine (medication) vs. Vasoconstriction

Epinephrine, also known as adrenalin or adrenaline, is a medication and hormone. Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular the large arteries and small arterioles.

Similarities between Epinephrine (medication) and Vasoconstriction

Epinephrine (medication) and Vasoconstriction have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenaline, Adrenergic receptor, Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, Arteriole, Cocaine, Hypertension, Insulin, Pupillary response, Smooth muscle tissue, Vasodilation.

Adrenaline

Adrenaline, also known as adrenalin or epinephrine, is a hormone, neurotransmitter, and medication.

Adrenergic receptor

The adrenergic receptors (or adrenoceptors) are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of the catecholamines, especially norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline).

Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor

The alpha-1 (α1) adrenergic receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) associated with the Gq heterotrimeric G-protein.

Arteriole

An arteriole is a small-diameter blood vessel in the microcirculation that extends and branches out from an artery and leads to capillaries.

Hypertension

Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.

Insulin

Insulin (from Latin insula, island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.

Pupillary response

Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil, via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve.
