Anger is a quite complex emotion. For some people, in displeasing situations, anger can completely overpower them before the discretionary parts of their brain can think and make proper judgements.
When we get angry, what happens in terms of brain is that it initiates our fight or flight response. First, a part of the brain called amygdala is activated which signals the release of catecholamines and cortisol. These chemicals increase our heart rate and blood pressure, thus making us feel energetic. They even redirect blood from our intestinal tract to our head, hands and legs, thus preparing us for some physical action. So, this is what happens when we get angry.
Note that, frequent anger isn’t good because these chemicals also release fatty acids which can accumulate in our blood vessels, decreasing blood flow, thus increasing the chances of heart attack, stroke, etc.
