A sudden surge you cannot hide
Glands command… begin to fire
Bloodstream fills with urgent power

Stored-up energy hits the blood
Fuel arrives to feed the flood
Muscles get a faster supply
While alertness starts to multiply

About the Song
Adrenaline (also called epinephrine) is a vital hormone and chemical messenger made by your adrenal glands on top of your kidneys. It pours into your blood during fear, stress, or excitement, triggering the “fight-or-flight” response to help you react quickly to danger.

How Adrenaline Affects the Body
Heart rate: Your heart beats faster to push more blood to your muscles.
Breathing: Your airways open up wide so you can take in more air.
Energy: Your body releases stored sugar into your blood for quick power.
Focus: Your brain becomes hyper-alert and sharp.
