Bаckgrоund Epinephrine (аdrenаline) is a hоrmоne involved in the fight-or-flight response. It acts as a vasodilator, increasing blood flow by widening arteries and capillaries. It also activates membrane receptors that help cells take in glucose for energy. Side effects of epinephrine include shakiness, anxiety, rapid breathing, and sweating. Scenario Your roommate hides behind some bushes on freshman hill near the Tanner Building and jumps out to scare you as you return from a tough biology study session at the LSB. Question At the cellular level, explain what happens in your body in response to this sudden scare. In your response, include details about the following: membrane activity (how epinephrine interacts with cell receptors) cellular biochemistry (glucose uptake, energy production) organ response (heart rate, breathing, muscle activation) Make sure to discuss why these responses cause the side effects of adrenaline (shakiness, anxiety, rapid breathing, sweating). This question is worth a lot of points, so be detailed and thorough in your answer!
