Increase in heartbeat

Answer 1

Hormone:

1. Hormones are molecules that specialized glands synthesize and generate in order to govern and regulate the functioning of certain cells and organs.
2. Adrenaline's main effects include boosting heart rate, and blood pressure, expanding the lungs' air passageways, enlarging the pupil in the eye, shifting blood to muscles, and changing the body's metabolism to maximize blood glucose levels.
3. The opposing actions of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, as well as the activity of epinephrine generated by the adrenal gland, influence heart rate.
