Answer: adrenal gland

Explanation: epinephrine and norepinephrine hormones are released by the adrenal gland in response to stress.

epinephrine or adrenaline hormone increases heart rate, increases blood pressure, and works similarly to sympathetic nerve action.

on the other hand norepinephrine work in bringing blood pressure level and breathing rate back to normal as a post-response to flight and fight situations.
