Norepinephrine

Erin DiPersio "20 things you don't know about me, Norepinephrine"

1. Where I hang out most of the time: in blood vessles that support organs throughout the body. 2. I am responsible for: regulating nerve impulses. 3. I'm most similar to the drug: Adrenaline 4. My favorite activity is: sending impulses to other neurons so the human can be more active 5. I hate it when: the human wants to go to sleep 6. The best thing about receptor sites is: it's a good place to hang out and meet other neurons. 7. When humans don't have enough of me: their energy decreases and hey could get depression. 8. In a choice between robots or zombies: I would choose Zombies because they are always eating and they always want to eat which is a specialty of mine. 9. The sucky thing about being a hormone: you have to be alert at all times. 10. A really strange fact about me: my molar mass is 169.18 g mol−1 I'm so fit. 11. My favorite food and why: well, i'm not sure about my favorite food, but i love coffee!!!! Can't get enough!! 12. I once dated a synapse, but it fell apart because: it fell in love with a receptor. 13. Sleep is awesome because: i get to take a break and relax for a little while. 14. A neuron walks into a bar and says: (to the other neurons). Is this a receptor cite because I am not recepting anything in site. 15. When humans have too much of me: it could lead to anxiety issues. 16. My favorite color is black because that is all i see. 17. My friends call me "N-Dog" 18. Receptor Cites are the place to be. 19. I'm a vicious Neurotransmitter 20. I'm the best Neurotransmitter, you can't do what i do. 20. I support organs throughout the body because I'm awesome.

Status Updates: 1. Out to receptor cites. hmu. 2. I have so much energy!! I think i might explode with excitment!!! 3. The body is sleeping. :( Soo bored. 4. Out with the family to stir up the blood vessles :) 5. I love it when the body drinks coffee!!! Coffee!!!!
