small triangular-shaped
glands on top of both
kidneys

The body's automatic reaction to a perceived

threat
Crucial survival mechanism designed to help
individuals respond to and cope with stressful
situations.

Increased heart rate
and speed
 Medical Uses
Treatment of severe allergic reactions eas
an emergency medication

Used during bronchospasm, (which is

to dilate the airways and improve
breathing in conditions like asthma and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD).

Employed in local anesthesia to narrow

Conclusions
Conclusion 01
Adrenaline is a hormone secreted by the
adrenal glands located on top of the kidneys.
It works hand in hand with noradrenaline,
which is in the same family.(catecholamine)

Conclusion 02
Adrenaline triggers the “Fight or Flight”
response and causes various effects including
increased heart rate and rate of respiration.

Conclusion 03
It has many practical everyday uses like
exercise and medication, but also can be
potentially harmful.
