Increases heart rate and breathing rate;increases blood pressure
A
adrenals
B
thyroid
C
parathyroid
D
pancreas
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adrenaline is a hormone produced within the adrenal gland in response to stress that increases heart rate, strengthens the force of the heart’s contraction and cardiac output, increases blood pressure and opens up the bronchioles in the lungs, and raises the blood levels of glucose and lipids among other effects.

Detailed explanation-2: -Epinephrine (Adrenaline) and Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline) Among other things, these hormones are capable of increasing the heart rate and force of heart contractions, increasing blood flow to the muscles and brain, relaxing airway smooth muscles, and assisting in glucose (sugar) metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your body releases adrenaline, a hormone that temporarily causes your breathing and heart rate to speed up and your blood pressure to rise. These reactions prepare you to deal with the situation-the “fight or flight” response.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) releases the hormones (catecholamines-epinephrine and norepinephrine) to accelerate the heart rate. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) releases the hormone acetylcholine to slow the heart rate.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adrenaline caused an increase in systolic blood pressure, a decrease in diastolic blood pressure, and an increase in heart rate. Adrenaline also produced a decrease in T wave amplitude and an increase in the QTc interval.
