Question

Name the hormone which is released when you see a speeding car coming.

Answer 1

Hormone released when a speeding car is coming is Adrenaline

1. Adrenal glands produce hormones that help in maintaining the immune system, blood pressure and metabolism.
2. Adrenal glands produce hormones like adrenaline which is known as the stress hormone.
3. In the event of stress, emergency or any threat, adrenaline is released in larger quantities.
4. Thus when a speeding car is approaching, the brain signals the adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline which helps the person to run or move away.
