Question

Name the hormone which is secreted by the adrenal gland . Explain the function of this hormone when we have to deal with scary situations

Answer 1

Mainly adrenaline is secreted during the situation of fight flight and fright.

Answer 2

Cortisol and Adrenaline.
Both are used in the flight or fight response.
Cortisol is responsible for glucose and fat and protein metabolism.
Adrenaline activates the sympathetic nervous system, which immediately causes various things to occur. More blood is sent to the muscles, breathing rate increases to allow for more oxygen enriched blood etc.
Adrenaline and Cortisol are important for creating flashbulb memories, however, overexposure to the hormones harms the body.
