[landmine217]

i dont have any adrenal glands

[enzo83sr]

so..you'd want to find and cut out the madula not just rip out the whole thing. cool i'd rather not eat the entire gland anyway, great info!

[johnxxx36]

i remember having an allergic reation to antibiotics for a flu once and it gave me skin hives so bad i took my self to the hostpital and they gave me an adrenaline shot in the leg and it went right though my body making my pupils Dilate right away and my heart rate was really fast but it still did not feel any different to a normal adrenaline rush only much faster acting.

[DBDxxBulldog]

ive noticed that when i get adrenaline i can do uncharacteristly things, ive cought fists, done wierd moves where i make arms go numbs, and i get calmer for some reason

[BraveWomanCandy]

@DBDxxBulldog so your implying that your adrenals are Chuck Norris?

[spartan117halo4]

Epinephrine is the Yankee (incorrect) name for Adrenaline!

It comes from the Adrenal Gland! Thereforce its called ADRENALine !

Get it right you mofos!

[M4R10X15]

i've been thinking, is there a way we (people;humans) can manipulate the adrenaline??? to use it everytime we want???

[Jeseeu]

you can use it for everything you want but first you must get it in your body...well caffeine makes the adrenal glands give you adrenaline and other but illegal drugs... you can also get adrenaline shots but only in hospital (i think) anyway using caffeine for this is not healthy i can tell you...it keeps your body on full alert with adrenaline in it for about 4-6 hours how much caffeine is in your brain...you get heart problems...i already got some palpitations

[M4R10X15]

oh.. wow...

well.... i hope you get better and that your palpitations doesnt get worse

[Jeseeu]

didnt use it for like 1 week and im getting better :D thx

The term used to be adrenaline and noradrenaline but has recently been changed to epinephrine and norepinephrine. Although respectively they are the same things, adrenaline and noradrenaline would be considered incorrect references.

[0oSMNo0]

it's also called suprarenal gland

[slaughtermate]

I am a Yankee I suppose. Adrenaline is the common or collective name for the mixture of epinephrine and nor-epinephrine released by the adrenal medulla.

So; you both are correct. You could also be a bit more charitable in your language.

[UntitledQuartet]

@slaughtermate you're wrong, Adrenaline is just another word for Epinephrine, the equivalent for nor-epinephrine would be Nor-Adrenaline.

[AdditonalPylons]

@UntitledQuartet slaughtermate is actually correct epinephrine and norepeniphrine are differnt substances but both still considered adrenaline

[trigganay]

its actually epinephrine and norepinephrine in the medulla of the adrenal glands
