Which Hormone is Known as the Emergency Hormone and Why

Q. Which Hormone is known as the Emergency Hormone and Why?

Answer: The Emergency hormone is the name given to the adrenaline hormone.

Explanation:

• The adrenal medulla secretes adrenaline hormone at times of stress or emergency, and it is hence known as the emergency hormone. Adrenaline is released into the bloodstream during an emergency. This secretion begins to react to a specific target organ, such as the lungs, heart, blood pressure, metabolism, and other functions 
• The heart begins to beat rapidly as a result of the release of adrenaline, providing a rush of oxygen to the muscles. This flurry of oxygen delivery to muscles has an effect on the lungs, causing the diaphragm and rib muscles to contract rapidly
• Blood flow to the skin and digestive system decreases as a result of the contraction. The arteries that supply these muscles have a tendency to enhance blood flow to the skeletal system
• Adrenaline hormone is regarded as the Emergency hormone since all of these actions occur under stressful conditions
• Adrenaline is a fast-acting hormone that prompts our bodies to take quick action, sometimes known as the fight or flight response. It raises our heart rate and respiratory rate, as well as diverts more blood to the muscles
