Solution

Adrenaline:

  1. The pressure of the bloodstream against the lining of the blood vessels is known as blood pressure.
  2. The heart pumps blood through the blood vessels, which causes the majority of the pressure.
  3. During a case of emergency, adrenaline, also known as the fight or flight hormone, regulates blood pressure.
  4. The adrenal glands produce this hormone, which tends to increase blood circulation, respiration, and carbohydrate metabolism while also trying to prepare muscles for exercise.
