Q

Complete this passage about the VASCULAR SHUNT MECHANISM

As we begin to exercise the distribution of B—– F— changes dramatically. Through V——– C—— and the S———- N——- S——, blood is diverted away from the non-essential T—— and O—– and redirected towards those which are active during exercise.

A

As we begin to exercise the distribution of BLOOD FLOW changes dramatically. Through VASOMOTOR CONTROL and the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM blood is diverted away from the non-essential TISSUES and ORGANS and redirected towards those which are active during exercise.

Q

Complete this process about what happens to the vascular shunt

At R— the P————- S——— are O— and the blood flows easily through them

During exercise the P————- S———– are C—— so blood flow bypasses the O—– and M—– to areas where it is M— N——

A

At REST the PRE-CAPILLARY SPHINCTERS are OPEN and the blood flows easily through them

During exercise the PRE-CAPILLARY SPHINCTERS are CLOSED so blood flow bypasses the ORGANS and MOVES to areas where it is MOST NEEDED.
