In conditions of stress or fear, the human adrenal gland may produce adrenaline. Which of the following is an effect adrenaline can have on the body?
Answer (2)
Adrenaline can change many things including increasing blood pressure, heart rate, reflexes, physical and psychological capabilities, and many more. When under stress, adrenaline is released to help the body defend itself from that stress. That's why when children are drowning, for example, those saving them must be extremely careful because a child can due to adrenaline become even stronger than an adult and can accidentaly drown the adult.
Adrenaline, or epinephrine, is a hormone released by the adrenal glands during stress, causing increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and boosted energy supplies. Its release enhances the body's ability to respond quickly to stressful situations by redirecting energy and reducing non-essential functions. These physiological changes support the body's fight-or-flight response.
