In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy explores the high-stakes world of adrenaline, breaking down exactly what happens in your body when your "fight-or-flight" response kicks in. Using cadaver dissections, we examine the adrenal glands—those small, hat-shaped organs sitting right on top of your kidneys—to show exactly where this powerful hormone and neurotransmitter is produced. Think you know what a surge of power really is? We’ll reveal the physiological truth behind stories of "superhuman" feats and how the surge temporarily shuts down your nervous system's "trust issues" to unlock nearly every motor unit in your muscles. Whether you're lifting in the gym or facing a crisis, learn how this incredible substance facilitates more powerful, explosive contractions while inhibiting the perception of pain
