Answer
Adrenaline
Explanation
Adrenaline increases heart rate and prepares the body for immediate physical action in response to stress.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Adrenaline's Role
Students often confuse adrenaline's function with that of other hormones, thinking it regulates long-term processes instead of immediate responses.
Remember that adrenaline is involved in the 'fight or flight' response, acting quickly to prepare the body for immediate action, rather than regulating long-term bodily functions.
