Detailed explanation-1: -In stressful or shocking situations, our adrenal gland releases epinephrine, also called adrenaline, into the bloodstream where it temporarily dilates our pupils, increases muscle efficiency to make us stronger, and increases transmission rates of oxygen-delivery systems.
Detailed explanation-2: -After the amygdala sends a distress signal, the hypothalamus activates the sympathetic nervous system by sending signals through the autonomic nerves to the adrenal glands. These glands respond by pumping the hormone epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) into the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adrenaline and noradrenaline are two separate but related chemical messengers. They are produced in the centre (medulla) of the adrenal glands and noradrenaline is also produced in some nerve cells (neurons) of the central peripheral nervous system.
