Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In response to a threatening or exciting situation, your brain sends a message to your adrenal glands (near your kidneys) and tells them to release adrenaline. The hormone rushes out into your blood, triggering changes in your heart, lungs, and brain that make you better able to respond to the threat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adrenaline is produced by the adrenal glands in times of fear or stress. It targets vital organs, increases the heart rate and boosts the delivery of oxygen and glucose to the brain and muscles, preparing the body for ‘flight or fight’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adrenaline makes your heart beat faster and your lungs breathe more efficiently. It causes the blood vessels to send more blood to the brain and muscles, increases your blood pressure, makes your brain more alert, and raises sugar levels in the blood to give you energy.
