How does our body respond when adrenaline is secreted into the blood?
ScienceClass 10CBSEAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Solution:
Adrenaline is a hormone secreted when a person is frightened or mentally disturbed. When Adrenaline reaches the heart, heartbeat will increase to increase blood supply to our muscles. Adrenaline also increases the breathing rate because of contraction of diaphragm and the rib muscles. Adrenaline rush also increases blood pressure and allows entry of more glucose into blood. All these occur when our body responds to the secretion of adrenaline into our blood.
