Solution
Answer:
- Adrenaline hormone is secreted in small amounts all the time but in large amounts when a person is frightened or excited.
- When adrenaline is secreted in large amounts it prepares our body for action.
- It speeds up heartbeat and breathing, raises blood pressure and allows more glucose (carbohydrate) to go into the blood to give us a lot of energy quickly to fight or flight (run away).
- Adrenal glands are often called 'glands of emergency'.
