responses
activity of adrenaline will be blocked preventing its effect on heart rate and blood volume
O activity of adrenaline will be blocked preventing its effect on heart rate and sodium and water retention
activity of adrenaline will be blocked preventing its effect on sodium and water retention
O activity of adrenaline will be blocked preventing its effect on heart rate and blood vessel diameter
