Mary is about to face an interview. But during the first five minutes before the interview she experiences sweating, increased rate of heart beat, respiration etc. Which of the following hormones are responsible for her restlessness?
Adrenalin and noradrenalin are the hormones which are secreted by the adrenal medulla. They are responsible for this restlessness because during emergency or stress conditions, these hormones increase the fight and flight responses. Hence they are also called emergency hormones. They tend to increase the heart rate as well as the blood pressure.
