The control of blood flow during exercise is more complicated than at first glance. At lower intensity exercise or at the start of exercise one of the main problems is heat. The blood carreis heat from the core to the skin allowing it to escape. During exercise heat would build up to dangerous levels is this system wasnt in place. However after more time the requirement of the muscles for oxygen outweighs the need to remove heat and so the blood flow to the skin is cut preserving more to flow to the the muscles.

How does the Sympathetic Division of the PNS regulate the body during exercise?

The SyNS pumps out epinephrine (adrenaline) during exercise to speed up heartrate, and regulate blood pressure. It also triggers the release of energy from your body's stores to fuel your muscles.


An exercise in which muscles are contracted and held for a few seconds but the body doesn't move?

Isometric exercise is a type of exercise in which muscles are activated, generating tension without changing length or causing movement in the body. This form of exercise helps improve muscle strength and endurance without joint stress. Examples include planks, wall sits, and static holds.


When the light is dim do parasympathetic fibers stimulate stimulate contraction of the circular muscles of the iris to decrease pupil diameter?

No, when light is dim, the parasympathetic fibers do not stimulate the contraction of the circular muscles of the iris. Instead, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, causing the radial muscles of the iris to contract and dilate the pupil, allowing more light to enter the eye. This process enhances vision in low-light conditions. The circular muscles, controlled by the parasympathetic system, are involved in constricting the pupil in bright light.


Where do sympathetic postganglionic fibers end?

Sympathetic postganglionic fibers end in effector organs such as smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands. They innervate these structures to modulate their activity in response to stress or stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system.


Which is NOT a function of the parasympathetic division of the ANS?

Which of WHAT?? You offer no CHOICES in your question to select from! Basically the sympathetic nervous system would not act to relax muscles in the body.

Why is the blood flow to extremities reduced during exercise?

During exercise, blood flow to the extremities is reduced because the body prioritizes delivering oxygen-rich blood to the muscles that are actively working. The sympathetic nervous system is activated, causing vasoconstriction in the blood vessels of the extremities while promoting vasodilation in the muscles. This redistribution ensures that the essential muscles receive adequate blood supply to support increased metabolic demands during physical activity. As a result, extremities may receive less blood flow temporarily.


Does the sympathetic system cause vasodilation?

Yes, the sympathetic nervous system can cause vasodilation in certain situations, such as during exercise or in response to stress. This is because the sympathetic system releases certain neurotransmitters that can relax blood vessels and increase blood flow to muscles and other tissues.


What are the agonist and antagonist muscles in the seated row?

The agonists are the muscles that help you to do this exercise. The antagonists are the muscles that bring you back to a regular position instead of being stuck.

How do arteries supplying the leg muscles alter the rate of blood flow through them during exercise?

the sympathetic nervous system redirects blood flow from organs to the muscles and then the blood vessels of the organs constricts to prevent blood returning.

Sympathetic postganglionic fibers end in effector organs such as smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands. They innervate these structures to modulate their activity in response to stress or stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system.


What are the benefits of using an exercise ball instead of a chair for improving posture and strengthening core muscles?

Using an exercise ball instead of a chair can improve posture and strengthen core muscles by engaging more muscles to maintain balance, promoting better spinal alignment, and encouraging active sitting which can help prevent back pain and improve overall stability and strength.


How are muscles activated?

muscles are activated when Oxigen goes trough your bood system, trough your veins and finaly to your Muscles making them move (Muscle Power..ACTIVATE! lol i always wanted to say that.. :)


Should you stretch before exercising?

Yes, This will allow your muscles to relax during the exercise instead of tightening up and pulling.
