Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of cardiovascular adjustments during exercise?

  • To decrease blood flow to the brain
  • To deliver oxygen and nutrients to specific exercising muscles (correct)
  • To reduce blood pressure in critical organs
  • To increase blood flow to inactive tissues
  • What happens to muscle blood flow during exercise with more than 70% tension?

  • Blood flow decreases slightly
  • Blood flow remains constant
  • Blood flow stops completely (correct)
  • Blood flow is normal
  • Which of the following factors contribute to maintaining high blood flow during exercise?

  • Temperature decrease
  • Decrease in tissue PCO2
  • Increase in tissue PO2 (correct)
  • Decrease in vasodilator metabolites
