Solution

Hormones:
Hormones are the secretions of the endocrine glands and are released directly into the bloodstream. The hormones get transported to the target organs, regulating physiological function.
The hormone released by animals during stressful situations is adrenaline. It is released from the medullary region of the adrenal gland.
It stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and prepares the body to fight or flight by increasing heart rate and blood pressure.
Final Answer: Adrenaline prepares to fight stressful conditions.
