Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These glands respond by pumping the hormone epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) into the bloodstream. As epinephrine circulates through the body, it brings on a number of physiological changes. The heart beats faster than normal, pushing blood to the muscles, heart, and other vital organs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adrenaline is released by the adrenal glands in the body. Hypothalamus sends the signal of releasing adrenaline whenever there is a situation of flight, fright, or fight. Adrenaline accelerates the rate of heart along with the flow of blood in the vessels and helps in tackling emergency situations.
