When you are in a potentially dangerous situation, your adrenal glands produce lots of adrenaline directly into your blood.

The adrenaline is essentially “go fast juice” for your body and it prepares you to either “fight or flight” your way out of the dangerous situation.

Your heart rate goes up, your pain tolerance skyrockets, your breathing rate will increase and you become super alert. There have also been examples of people performing superhuman feats of strength with the help of adrenaline in a scary situation.
