Detailed Solution
Epinephrine and norepinephrine augment the fight-or-flight response. By increasing the heart rate and force of contraction, epinephrine and norepinephrine increase the cardiac output and blood pressure. They also increase blood flow to the heart and skeletal muscles. In addition, they dilate airways to the lungs and increase blood levels of glucose and fatty acids.
