3.<em>Nor</em> <em>epinephrine</em> is used in flight and fight responses causing arousal, alertness, anxiety etc.

4.<em>Epinephrine</em> is also involved in flight and fight responses it increases blood flow to muscles, dilates pupil , and relaxes the muscles and thus, also leads to widening of the air passageways in the lungs.
