During fight-or-flight response, the sympathetic nervous systems stimulate the adrenal glands triggering the release of catecholamines, which include adrenaline and noradrenaline.

Answer:

The two hormones are adrenaline and norepinephrine

Step-by-step explanation:

Adrenaline is one of the most important hormones that is released in fight or flight situations, which allows the increase in blood glucose, thus obtaining enough energy to allow limb movement in a few seconds.

For its part, norepinephrine is responsible for preserving the fight and flight response. It produces an increase in blood flow to the entire muscular system, which favors the motor responses that in certain situations can lead people out of danger.
