AB Adrenergic  refers  to  physiological  responses  related  to  adrenaline  and  noradrenaline,  two  neurohormones  that  are  also  known  commonly  as  epinephrine  and  norepinephrine,  respectively.  Adrenergic  drugs  either  stimulate  activity  in  tissues  that  respond  to  epinephrine  and  norepinephrine  (adrenergic  agonists)  or  inhibit  epinephrine  and  norepinephrine  influence  (adrenergic  antagonists).  Epinephrine  and  norepinephrine  are  released  from  the  adrenal  gland  and  reach  the  heart,  kidneys,  and  various  other  tissues  and  organs  via  the  systemic  circulation  (see  Chapter  18).
