Because the blood is diverted to the working muscles instead, as they need the more blood in order to provide oxygen for aerobic respiration

How does blood flow to the capillaries controlled with respect to meeting the bodies needs?

Examples: after a meal, blood supply to the digestive tract increases. During strenuous exercise, blood is diverted from the digestive tract and supplied more generously to skeletal muscles and skin.


What would happen to the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery if more blood is drived to the lungs during exercise?

The pressure in the pulmonary artery increases during exercise if the cardiac output increases.


Does blood pressure increase during exercise?

Yes, blood pressure typically increases during exercise as the heart pumps more blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.


Does blood flow increase during exercise?

Yes, blood flow increases during exercise to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and remove waste products.


Why is it normal for a student-athlete's heart to beat quickly during and after strenuous exercise?

During and after strenuous exercise, a student-athlete's heart beats quickly to pump more oxygen-rich blood to the muscles and organs that need it. This helps the body meet the increased demand for energy and oxygen during physical activity.


What happens to blood pressure as you exercise?

Blood pressure increases during excercise because the heart rate increases to allow more blood to get to the working muscles. However: Moderate exercise, i.e. walking, has benefits for people suffering high blood pressure. Research has shown that walking several times a week for at least half an hour can help lower high blood pressure. It is best to avoid continued strenuous exercise, however - high BP causes greater strain on the arteries, and in strenuous exercise, one is making one's heart work harder.


How many blood cells do large horses have?

All horses with the exception of miniatures have roughly 9 gallons of blood inside their body at any one time. During rest the number of Red Blood Cells is at about 35% of the total blood volume, which would equal 3.15 gallons. During strenuous exercise it increases to 65% of the blood volume, which would be 5.85 gallons. The rest of the blood will be made up of White blood cells and Plasma.


Why does blood pressure increase during exercise?

During exercise, blood pressure increases because the heart pumps more blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles that are working harder. This helps the body meet the increased demand for energy during physical activity.


How does exercise affect the inspiratory area?

If blood flows through the lungs twice as fast as rest, it picks up twice as much oxygen per minute because as cardiac output rises, the rate of blood flow through the lungs also increases. Furthermore, the rate at which O2 diffuses from alveolar air into the blood increases during maximal exercise because blood flows through a larger percentage of the pulmonary capillaries, providing a greater surface area for diffusion of O2 into the blood. Also, when exercise is strenuous and demanding the breathing rate will increase. At the end of an exercise session, an abrupt decrease in ventilation rate is followed by a more gradual decline to the resting level.


What happens to the cardiovascular system immediately during exercise?
