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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The heart beats faster, resulting in supply of more oxygen to our muscles.
The blood to the digestive system and skin is reduced due to contraction of muscles around small arteries in these organs. This diverts the blood to our skeletal muscles.
The breathing rate also increases because of the contractions of the diaphragm and the rib muscles.
All these responses together enable the animal body to be ready to deal with the situation.
