When you are scared, the pituitary gland makes a mental note of it. It then processes the request to send a hormone (a chemical message) through the bloodstream to go to its "target center" which is the adrenal glands. the adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys in the lower abdomen area. Once these adrenal glands get this message; the hormone, it releases extra adrenaline into your bloodstream. the adrenaline affects all areas of your body, making you feel scared or nervous. Adrenaline in your system makes your senses sharper, and causes the "fight or flight" response. For ex. if you are watching a scary movie, and the slightest noise or touch is made outside of the movie, you might scream, thanks to adrenaline. If you are a protective mother, but run the car over your baby, sometimes you will get enough adrenaline to pick up the car and lift up your baby. {the side affect is becoming known as supermom. lol.} that is called the "fight response" because your muscles are using all the ATP (energy) and adrenaline, that it can do beyond human things like a "superhero" per say. If a bear is chasing you, adrenaline gives you the extra boost of energy to outrun the bear, faster than usual, and get away, saving your own life. this is known as the "Flight response". ~kthnx, hope that's helpful~ Krista xx <333
