adrenalin is called emergency gland why?

Answer 1

Adrenaline is called a emergency hormone because, When adrenaline is secreted into the blood it prepares our body for action. It speeds up heart beat and breathing, raises blood pressure and allows more glucose(Carbohydrate) to go into the blood to give us lot of energy quickly to run or fight. Additionally it is secreted in the body when body is under severe physical/emotional stress or depression. It helps us to deal with emergency situation by generating more energy in the body, thatswhy it is called an Emergency Hormone.
