Adrenergic is a descriptive term for cells of the autonomic nervous system that use adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) as chemical neurotransmitters. The sympathetic nervous system is an adrenergic nervous system.[1] Adrenergic may also refer to drugs which act upon the sympathetic nervous system, such as beta-blockers.[2]
