Detailed explanation-1: -Your adrenal glands make the hormone adrenaline and send it into your bloodstream. Adrenaline, a hormone your adrenal glands produce, has a purpose. It helps you face dangerous situations by causing temporary changes in your body. Your heartbeats and breathing get faster as part of the “fight or flight” response.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. Your pupils grow larger and you sweat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adrenaline and noradrenaline are dubbed emergency hormones or Fight or Flight hormones. These hormones are rapidly released in reaction to stress of any kind and during emergency situations. These hormones stimulate alertness, pupil dilation, piloerection (hair growth), perspiration, and other bodily functions.
