A term used in reference to the secreting of, or to being characteristic of or activated by, epinephrine or substances with similar activity.

drug that has the effects of epinephrine

relating to epinephrine (its release or action)

Pertaining to nerves that release the neurotransmitter norepinephrine/noradrenaline (e.g. adrenergic nerves, adrenergic response). An alternative U.S. useage also pertains to the receptors acted upon by noradrenaline, i.e. adrenergic receptors. The IUPHAR approved nomenclature for these receptors is 'adrenoceptor'. www.adrenoceptor.com

Description of a nerve ending or synapse where norepineph rine is released as the primary transmitter

activated or transmitted by epinephrine.

refers to the catecholamines, epinephrine and norepinephrine

adjective, Latin ad = at, ren = kidney, and Greek ergon = work, hence, stimuli which cause the adrenal (suprarenal) gland to produce adrenaline. Used to specify neurons or pathways which use adrenaline as a transmitter.

activated by, secreting or characteristic of adrenaline.

neurotransmitters - neurotransmitters which are chemically related to adrenaline, whic is also called epinephrine. Examples are dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine. They are also refered to as catecholamines, which are derived from the amino acid tyrosine.

Term applied to sympathetic nerves which liberate adrenaline and noradrenaline from their terminations

Functions that are dominated by epinephrine (the blood hormone) or norepinephrine (local sympathetic adrenergic nerve stimulus)

Associated with catecholamines.

A synaptic terminal that, when stimulated, releases norepinephrine.

An adrenergic is a drug, or other substance, which has effects similar to, or the same as, epinephrine (adrenaline). Alternatively, it may refer to something which is susceptible to epinephrine, or similar substances, such as a biological receptor (specifically, the adrenergic receptors). Beta blockers block the action of epinephrine in the body.
