Description:
Caffeine acts by inhibiting adenosine, a brain chemical involved in sleep. Caffeine inhibits adenosine, causing neurons in the brain to fire. The pituitary gland, believing the body is in danger, triggers the "fight or flight" response by producing adrenaline. This hormone causes the heart to race and the pupils to dilate. It also induces the liver to release additional sugar into the bloodstream in order to provide energy. Caffeine impacts the levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter found in the pleasure centre of the brain. All of these physical responses give you the impression that you have greater energy. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
