Q)) Why is Adrenaline also called the emergency hormones?
Ans)) Adrenal Medulla secretes Adrenaline (also called epinephrine and noradrenaline). Adrenaline is a hormone, which prepares the body to meet any emergency situation, for “fight” i.e., to face danger or for “flight”, to run away from it. Extra energy and strength is provided to the body in that situation. Extra hormone is released into the blood at the time of emotional stress. When excited or angry, our adrenals produce a lot of adrenalin. The gland itself is stimulated by the nerve endings of the autonomic nervous system. So, adrenaline also called the emergency hormones.
Functions of Adrenaline :
- It increases heart beat accompanied by an increase in blood pressure.
- It increases blood supply to the muscles while decreasing it to skin and visceral organs.
- More glucose is released in the blood by liver.
