| Front | Adrenaline affects eight parts of the body: Heart, Breathing control in the brain, Arterioles to the skin, Arterioles to the digestive system, Muscles in the alimentary canal, Muscles of the body, Liver, Fat deposits. Name four of the effects and their uses. |
|---|---|
| Back | Heart: Beats faster to supply more glucose and oxygen. Breathing control: Faster and deeper breathing to supply more oxygen and remove more carbon dioxide. Arterioles to the skin & digestive system: Constricts them to move more blood towards the muscles. Muscles of the alimentary canal: Relaxes, which slows peristalsis and digestion, allowing for more energy to the muscles Muscles of the body: Become tense to be ready to respond quickly Liver: Converts glycogen to glucose to have more available energy in the blood. Fat deposits: Converts fat into fatty acids which allow for muscles contraction. |
