A. Effects on catecholamine release and reduction of cerebral metabolic rate Cerebral hypoxic injury is known to be associated with a massive catecholamine increase in central and peripheral norepinephrine concentrations are commonly seen with cerebral hypoxic injury. Catecholamines may impoverish outcome from cerebral ischemia‚ possibly by stimulating central _2-receptors (Figure 2.20). Neuronal damages are results of icreased norepinephrine due to the elevation of metabolic demand and alteration

Vascular bundles are present in vascular tissue system and are distributed in the stele. The stele is the central column of Dicol stems. Each vascular bundle may be made up of both xylem tissue and phloem tissue with a cambium as in dicot stems or without cambium as in Monocot stems or of one kind of tissue xylem or phloem as in roots. Vascular bundle may be regularly arranged in a ring as in the stems of most dicotyledons and in all roots or they may be scattered in the ground tissue as in stems
