Detailed Solution

The adrenal medulla of adrenal gland secretes two hormones called adrenaline or epinephrine and noradrenaline or norepinephrine. These are commonly called catecholamines. Adrenaline and noradrenaline are rapidly secreted in response to stress of any kind and during emergency situations and are called emergency hormones or hormones of Fight or Flight. These hormones increase alertness, pupilary dilation, piloerection (raising of hair), sweating etc. Both the hormones increase the heart beat, the strength of heart contraction and the rate of respiration. Catecholamines also stimulate the breakdown of glycogen, resulting in an increased concentration of glucose in the blood. In addition, they also stimulate the breakdown of lipids and proteins.
