Epinephrine or Adrenaline:

  • It is secreted at the time of emergency. Hence it is also called emergency hormone.

  • It has a greater effect on cardiac activity than norepinephrine.

  • It causes only weak con­striction of the blood vessels of the muscles in comparison with a much stronger constriction that results from norepinephrine.

  • Both adrenaline and noradrenaline act on the cells of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles and blood vessels and fat cells. 

  • Because of the role of their hormones, the adrenal glands are also called ‘glands of emergency’.
