The phrase
"adrenaline response" refers to the body's natural reaction to a perceived threat or danger. When someone experiences an
adrenaline response, their brain sends a signal to the adrenal glands to release a hormone called adrenaline into their bloodstream. This leads to various physiological changes, such as increased heart rate, quickened breathing, heightened senses, and increased energy, helping a person to either fight the danger or escape from it.
