16 mg of caffeine every day, which makes it America's most popular drug. Caffeine is generally 17 consumed in coffee, cola, chocolate, and tea, although it is also available over-the-counter as a 18 stimulant. 19 Caffeine is believed to work by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain and other organs. This 20 reduces the ability of adenosine to bind to the receptors, which would slow down cellular 21 activity. The stimulated nerve cells release the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline), which 22 increases heart rate, blood pressure, and blood flow to muscles, decreases blood flow to the skin 23 and organs, and causes the liver to release glucose. Caffeine also increases levels of the 24 neurotransmitter dopamine. 25 Part of the reason caffeine is classified by the Food and Drug Administration as generally 26 recognized as safe is that toxic doses (over 1000 mg for an average adult) are much higher than 27 typically used doses
The endocrine system is composed of a variety of glands that produce and secrete hormones. Hormones are signalling molecules that enter the blood stream and travel throughout the body. Although all body cells 32 are exposed to the hormone, the only cells that respond to it are the cells that have specific receptors that bind the hormone. b. Epinephrine is a hormone that has a significant effect on the radius of blood vessels. Epinephrine is secreted by the adrenal medulla (an endocrine gland atop the kidneys) in response to sympathetic stimulation. Epinephrine enters the blood stream and travels to all part the body interacting with those cells having epinephrine receptors on their cell surface. c. There are two types of epinephrine receptors found

system* (PNS). In the brain it helps regulate memory, whilst it controls the actions of skeletal and smooth muscle within the PNS. ACTION POTENTIAL – An electrical phenomenon which occurs when a neurone is activated and temporarily reverses the electrical state of its interior membrane from negative to positive. An electrical charge travels along the axon to the neurone’s ending (terminal) where it triggers the release of a neurotransmitter* and then disappears. ADRENALINE (U.S. - Epinephrine) – A hormone released by the adrenal medulla* and a neurotransmitter acting at the level of the autonomic nervous system and the brain. ADRENAL CORTEX – The outer layer of the adrenal, a small endocrine gland located near the kidney. It produces and secretes several hormones* (corticosteroids) e.g. cortisol. It is implicated in stress response. ADRENAL MEDULLA - The centre of the adrenal, a small endocrine gland located near the kidney
2005; see figure 2). Figure 2 Figure 2. Cybernetic 3-Dimensional Model on emotion Regulation (Mohiyeddini 1998, 2005) Emotion regulation in relation.. 1 Although little research to-date has examined the specific effects of ER as measured by e.g. HER and DAR on the physiological stress response, Mohiyeddini and colleagues have reported that hedonistic emotional states link to lower cortisol, epinephrine and nor-epinephrine levels after stress (Wirtz et al., 2006) . Thus further studies in this area would increase our understanding of the emotional regulation of the physiological response and lead to better psychotherapeutic interventions and / or management of the damaging stress response. 1.3 Stress and physiological factors. Organisms respond to stress with secretion of neuroendocrine mediators. These hormones interact with physical, cognitive and emotional processes. (Steptoe et al.,
