Answer: Because epinephrine activates the fight or flight response, related to the sympathethic response in the body.

Explanation:

The function of the Autonomic Nervous System is the regulation of the system cardiovascular, digestion, respiration, body temperature, metabolism, exocrine glands, and therefore keep the internal environment constant (homeostasis). While sympathetic activity increases in stress, the activity parasympathetic predominates during rest and satiety. The adrenal medulla originates from the neural crest and is composed of neuroendocrine specialized cells and are responsible for the production of catecholamines.

Catecholamines are dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline (epinephrine and norepinephrine). Epinephrine prepares muscles, lungs, and heart for more intense activity, in situations of stress. It promotes the increase in the force of contraction in the muscles and increases in the heart rate. It also leads to increased blood pressure and bronchodilation, for greater availability of O2.

What structure allows the hypothalamus to have direct communication with the anterior pituitary?
ANEK [815]

Hypophyseal portal system allows the hypothalamus to have direct communication with the anterior pituitary.

The hypophyseal portal system is a network of blood vessels that connects the anterior portion of the gland and hypothalamus at the base of the brain. Two capillary beds, one in the median eminence and the other in the anterior pituitary, make up the portal system. Its principal job is to swiftly transfer and exchange hormones between the anterior pituitary gland and the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus.

The cortisol, androgens, and aldosterone hormones interact with anterior pituitary gland cells via travelling through the hypophyseal portal system. Hormonal signaling through the hypophyseal portal system enables connection between these two structures.
