Its a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla that is released into the bloodstream in response to physical or mental stress as from fear or injury ( you may have heard of it as "fight or flight" response) it initiates many bodily responses including the stimulation of heart action and an increase in blood pressure, metabolic rate, and blood glucose, it kind of speads everything up for a little bit to flush out whateverit is that is causing the reaction.
