Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, an additional and important action of adrenaline is to increase plasma glucose by promoting glycogenolysis in the liver and skeletal muscle, liver gluconeogenesis and reduction of glucose uptake by tissues such as skeletal muscle via activation of 1‐ and 2‐adrenoceptors (Moratinos et al., 1986).

Detailed explanation-2: -The sympathetic nervous system, acting via splanchnic nerves to the adrenal medulla, stimulates the release of adrenaline.

Detailed explanation-3: -The adrenal medulla, the inner part of an adrenal gland, controls hormones that initiate the flight or fight response. The main hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla include epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), which have similar functions.
