PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The emergency hormone, adrenaline, is secreted by adrenal gland to face a risk or a stress condition.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hormones produced by the adrenal medulla are called catecholamines. They act as hormones and as neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the nervous system). They manage the body’s response to stress. The 2 more important catecholamines are epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adrenaline is the ‘emergency hormone’ as it is secreted during stress and is responsible for the fight or flight response. Adrenaline is secreted by the adrenal glands (Adrenal medulla).

Detailed explanation-4: -Adrenaline triggers the body’s fight-or-flight response. This reaction causes air passages to dilate to provide the muscles with the oxygen they need to either fight danger or flee.
