Red / White blood cells & Platelets

Platelets always circulate in our bloodstream, looking for tiny tears in blood vessels where blood might leak out, like a paper cut. They accumulate in such cuts during clotting. Red blood cells carry fresh oxygen from the lungs to all the cells that need it, and then carry away the unneeded carbon dioxide. White blood cells are immune responders that combat foreign microorganisms. Those invaders might cause infection, so white blood cells help produce antibodies that keep the invaders from causing damage.

Epinephrine

Also known as adrenalin, epinephrine is a naturally occurring hormone. During the fight-or-flight response response, the adrenal gland releases epinephrine into the blood stream, along with other hormones like cortisol, signaling the heart to pump harder, increasing blood pressure, opening airways in the lungs, narrowing blood vessels in the skin and intestine to increase blood flow to major muscle groups, and performing other functions to enable the body to fight or run when encountering a perceived threat.
