    Adrenaline is a hormone that increases metabolic activity and is secreted in response to situations that require a fight or flight response. Hormones are chemical substances produced by glands that alter the activity of target organs and tissues via the bloodstream. The endocrine system uses hormones for coordination and response, while the nervous system uses nerves, but both systems control metabolic activity. Adrenaline secretion specifically increases in situations that induce stress or require bursts of energy.

    WHAT IS A
    HORMONE?

    S
    Hormone production is under feedback
    control
    Once hormones have served their
    function on their target
    organs/tissues they are destroyed.
    They are destroyed by the liver.

    HORMONES = as a chemical
    substance, produced by a gland,
    carried by the blood, which alters
    the activity of one or more
    specific target organs and is then
