The human body uses the blood stream as a delivery system for chemicals. In the flight or fight response mechanics of fear, adrenaline is delivered via the blood stream to provide strength or endurance for egress or attack. The accelerated heart rate helps to deliever adrenaline quickly to needed areas, as well as increases the oxygen delivery to muscles, also aiding in egress or attack.
