Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason for the change in different processes during exercise like cardiac output gets double but organs like kidney get 50% less blood flow than normal and skeletal muscles get 10-fold more blood.

Introduction:

During exercise metabolic activity in the skeletal muscle goes way high. It is so because skeletal muscles demand energy in order to fulfill the exercise regime. Thus, blood flow toward the skeletal muscle increase. At the same time, organs like kidney and digestive system get less blood flow as they do not need blood at that time.

During exercise, arterial blood pressure changes very little. How￾ever, cardiac output may double and blood flow to exercising muscle may go up 10-fold, while at the same time the blood flow to kidneys may decline by nearly 50%. Explain possible mechanisms that might account for these very different changes
In the intrinsic regulation of blood flow, which of the following is the response expected in tissue being used during exercise? Group of answer choices Active hyperemia Reactive hyperemia Both active and reactive hyperemia Autoregulation
Describe the mechanisms that increase the cardiac output during exercise and that increase the rate of blood flow to the heart and skeletal muscles.
