Popis:	The role of the sympathetic nervous system in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension is still controversial. Upon sympathetic nervous stimulation, noradrenaline is released from nerve endings. The majority of it is taken up again into the neurons but a small fraction reaches the systemic circulation. Thus, plasma noradrenaline concentration can be used as an index of sympathetic nervous activity. In man, most if not all adrenaline in plasma stems from the adrenal medulla.
