What primary change in cardiac output occurs during vigorous exercise?

It remains constant irrespective of activity level.

It fluctuates randomly without connection to activity.

It increases to support heightened metabolic demands. (correct)

It decreases due to increased blood viscosity.

Which factor does NOT directly influence blood pressure regulation in the body?

Seasonal change (correct)

Total blood volume

Heart rate

Peripheral resistance

How does peripheral resistance affect blood flow?

Decreases blood flow when vessels dilate.

Has no effect regardless of vessel diameter.

Increases resistance leads to decreased flow. (correct)

Increases blood flow during increased viscosity.
