Final answer:

Epinephrine and norepinephrine cause an increase in skeletal and cardiac muscle and a decrease in other tissues when there is indirect sympathetic nervous system stimulation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hormone epinephrine and norepinephrine causes an increase in skeletal and cardiac muscle and a decrease in other tissues when there is indirect sympathetic nervous system stimulation. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are released by the adrenal medulla in response to danger or stress, and they signal the liver and skeletal muscle cells to convert glycogen into glucose, resulting in increased blood glucose levels. These hormones also increase heart rate, blood pressure, and dilate airways, while promoting vasoconstriction in less essential organs.
