HOLA FRIEND
HERE'S THE ANSWER
Adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) is a stress hormone secreted from the adrenal glands on the kidneys. The body also uses this hormone in a fight-or-flight response to an environment which appears threatening.
An ‘adrenaline rush’ is a sudden influx of adrenaline flooding the body from the adrenal glands. The brain is essentially communicating the need to stay or leave as quickly as possible depending on the situation.
The threat can be real or imagined, but the body believes it is real and thus releases the hormone in response.
An overdose of this chemical can, over time, cause adrenal fatigue or burnout related to long periods of stress or anxiety which keep adrenaline at heightened levels in the body for extended periods of time.
When a situation is perceived as exciting, or threatening, the brain sends signals to the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline and other hormones.
Adrenaline binds to receptors on the heart, arteries, pancreas, liver, muscles and fatty tissue.
This increases heart rate and respiration and inhibits production of insulin in the pancreas. Synthesis of sugar and fat is stimulated which can fuel the body in a fight-or-flight situation.

Adrenaline hormone is secreted by adrenal glands. Adrenaline is secreted directly into the blood and carried to different parts of the body the targeted organs of the specific tissues on which it acts is the heart. As a result the heart beats faster result in supply of more oxygen to our muscles. The blood to the digestive system and speed is reduced 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 under rib muscles all these responses together enable the animal body to be ready to deal with the emergency situation. ✨
