Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) plays a role in the body’s “fight-or-flight” response. It is both a hormone and a neurotransmitter. When a person experiences stress or fear, their body releases epinephrine . This increases heart rate and breathing and gives the muscles a jolt of energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -When you’re scared or stressed suddenly, adrenaline is quickly sent into your body. This is commonly known as an adrenaline rush because it happens so fast. You’ve probably heard of “fight or flight.” Adrenaline is what gets your body ready to fight or flee danger.
