Adrenaline hormone is known as the Emergency hormone. Adrenaline hormone is secreted during the time of stress or emergency by the adrenal medulla and is hence often referred to as the emergency hormone. Upon the release of adrenaline, the heart starts to beat rapidly thereby supplying a rush of oxygen to the muscles.
