Adernaline hormone is secreted by the adrenal glands. It is secreted in large amounts when a person is frightened hence it prepares our body for action. It speeds up heart beat and breathing, raises blood pressure and allows more glucose to go into into the blood to give us a lot of energy quickly to fight from the frightening situation. For this reason Adrenal glands are often called ' glands of emergency .'
