    Epinephrine Essay

    In this experiment we explored the effects of being nervous and therefore adrenaline on the human cardiopulmonary physiology. Adrenaline or epinephrine is a hormone that is emitted throughout the body in times of temporary stress or fear. Our theory or hypothesis was that in a uncomfortable interaction with a stranger the person in question would experience a spike in their heart rate and blood pressure. In a recent study on the effects of epinephrine on the heart (Fuenmayor and Gomez 2016) the results showed that when the hormone epinephrine was directly injected into the system there were no harmful effects, however the systolic blood pressure and heart rate of the patient increased to up to 10% higher than the basal reading. This study would…

Then, we will give them a set volume of liquid at different caffeine levels to see if the subjects running time changes with the caffeine.…
