Detailed explanation-1: -Adrenaline is produced in the adrenal glands, which release adrenaline into the body during times of stress or danger. It prepares your body to face a stressful “fight or flight” situation.
Detailed explanation-2: -It causes the coronary heart to beat quicker subsequently offering extra oxygen to the muscle groups. Blood strain receives extended subsequently permitting extra glucose to go into the frame to offer energy. Due to muscle contractions, the blood delivered to the digestive system is reduced.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adrenaline is a hormone released from the adrenal gland as a normal response to stress (fight or flight), infections, medications (especially antidepressants), caffeine and other stimulants. If the adrenal glands produce excess adrenaline, this may be caused by a type of adrenal tumor called pheochromocytoma.
Detailed explanation-4: -Adrenaline hormone prepares the body to face emergency situations by increasing heart beat, breathing rate (which increases oxygen intake, thus increasing respiratory rate) and increasing the supply of oxygen to skeletal muscles by reducing the supply of blood to skin by contraction of blood vessels in the skin.
