Because adrenaline is intended to prime the body to react to a perceived threat, one consequence of its release is the dilation of the pupils in your eyes. Pupils expand, you’ll find your vision improves by letting in more light.

Adrenaline triggers the body's fight-or-flight response. This reaction causes air passages to dilate to provide the muscles with the oxygen they need to either fight danger or flee.

Adrenaline makes your heart and lungs work faster, which sends more oxygen to your major muscles. As a result, you get a temporary boost of strength. The body's entire stress response contributes to superhuman strength.
