Answer:

prolongs the anesthetic effect of the drug

Explanation:

The epinephrine acts as a vasoconstrictor agent to some local anesthetic drugs. The systemic absorption slows down with the addition of 5 micrograms per mL of epinephrine. The epinephrine enhances the anesthetic effect of the drugs. It act as a adjuvant in local anesthetic drugs. The adjuvant increases the effect of immune response. The epinephrine also act as drug for anaphylactic reaction during emergency. The dopamine receptors are present in CNS. The epinephrine is not involved in lowering blood pressure and low heart beat. The epinephrine stimulates secretion of prostaglandins.

Thus, option B is correct. So, the addition of epinephrine to some local anesthetic drugs <u>prolongs the anesthetic effect of the drug.</u>

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

A <u><em>receptor</em></u> is a protein that recognizes and responds to a signal.

Explanation:

A receptor is a protein molecule present on the cells on which the signalling molecules can bind and generate a physiological response. Some receptor molecules can also respond to Sun and light. Each type of cell has specific receptors molecules and hence can respond to specific signals. The receptor molecules hence tend to receive signals for a cell. Molecules such as hormones bind to the receptors.
