Adrenaline superpowers, illustration. The hormone and neurotransmitter adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) is produced by the adrenal glands. Adrenaline stimulates the body to allow rapid responses during exercise or emergencies. The seven physiological responses shown here are (top to bottom): generation of euphoria, dilation of the pupils of the eyes, increase in the breathing rate, increase in blood pressure, increase in cardiac rhythm, decrease in intestinal motility (muscle action in the digestive system), and activation of glycogen muscle stores.
