UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007267	Injections	Introduction of substances into the body using a needle and syringe.	Injectables,Injectable,Injection
D008297	Male		Males
D009655	Octopamine	An alpha-adrenergic sympathomimetic amine, biosynthesized from tyramine in the CNS and platelets and also in invertebrate nervous systems. It is used to treat hypotension and as a cardiotonic. The natural D(-) form is more potent than the L(+) form in producing cardiovascular adrenergic responses. It is also a neurotransmitter in some invertebrates.	Norsynephrine,p-Octopamine,para-Octopamine,4-Octopamine,Norsympatol,alpha-(Aminoethyl)-4-hydroxybenzenemethanol
D010136	p-Hydroxyamphetamine	Amphetamine metabolite with sympathomimetic effects. It is sometimes called alpha-methyltyramine, which may also refer to the meta isomer, gepefrine.	Hydroxyphenylisopropylamine,Methyltyramine,Norpholedrin,Oxyamphetamine,para-Hydroxyamphetamine,Hydroxyamfetamine,Hydroxyamphetamin,Hydroxyamphetamine,Hydroxyamphetamine Hydrobromide,Paredrine,Hydrobromide, Hydroxyamphetamine,p Hydroxyamphetamine,para Hydroxyamphetamine
D010137	p-Hydroxynorephedrine	Parahydroxy analog of phenylpropanolamine with properties as a sympathomimetic.	para-Hydroxynorephedrine,p Hydroxynorephedrine,Hydroxynorephedrine, p,para Hydroxynorephedrine
D010665	Phenylpropanolamine	A sympathomimetic that acts mainly by causing release of NOREPINEPHRINE but also has direct agonist activity at some adrenergic receptors. It is most commonly used as a nasal vasoconstrictor and an appetite depressant.	Norephedrine,Dexatrim,Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride,Prolamine,Propagest,Triaminic DM,Hydrochloride, Phenylpropanolamine
D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D002946	Cisterna Magna	One of three principal openings in the SUBARACHNOID SPACE. They are also known as cerebellomedullary cistern, and collectively as cisterns.	Magna, Cisterna
D000661	Amphetamine	A powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic. Amphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. Amphetamine is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic. The l- and the d,l-forms are included here. The l-form has less central nervous system activity but stronger cardiovascular effects. The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.	Desoxynorephedrin,Levoamphetamine,Phenopromin,l-Amphetamine,Amfetamine,Amphetamine Sulfate,Amphetamine Sulfate (2:1),Centramina,Fenamine,Mydrial,Phenamine,Thyramine,levo-Amphetamine,Sulfate, Amphetamine,l Amphetamine,levo Amphetamine
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
