How does our body respond when adrenaline is secreted into the blood?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The adrenaline hormone prepares our body to function at maximum efficiency during emergency situations like danger, anger, excitement, etc. This happens as follows : When we are faced with a dangerous situation (like being chased by a ferocious dog), then our nervous system system stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete more adrenaline hormore into our blood. This adrenaline hormore increases our 'heat beats', breathing rate blood flow into muscles and causes liver ti put more stored glucose into our blood'. All these actions of adrenaline hormone produce a lot of energy in our body very, very quickly. And this energy helps us to cope up with emergency situations (like running away very fast from a ferocious dog or fighting an enemy, etc.).
