Adrenalin is a hormone that is released by the adrenal glands which sit just on top of the kidney. It works by traveling through the blood stream then binding to adrenergic receptors on the surface of muscle and/or glandular cells. These receptors then transmit a message within the cell activating a contractile/secretory pathway which leads to muscle contraction and/or tone or release of other hormones.
