Which of the following are true regarding blood flow to the muscular system? Check all that apply. When the body is at rest, muscles receive about 25% of the cardiac output. Muscle tissue is well vascularized due to high demand for oxygen and glucose. During exercise, muscles receive nearly 100% of the cardiac output. Blood capillaries are found in the skeletal muscle's endomysium but not in the perimysium.

A healthy 28-year-old woman participates in an exercise study. Several physiologic variables are measured as she runs on a treadmill. The ambient room temperature is 75°F. She reaches a steady state that increases her oxygen consumption threefold. She continues to exercise at that level for 20 minutes. During the first 5 minutes of exercise, the vascular resistance of which of the following is likely to show the greatest increase from resting values I n this volunteer? A) Coronary B) Cutaneous C) Exercising muscle D) Pulmonary E) Splanchnic F) Systemic

During exercise, cardiac output may increase by more than 170% to meet the body's increased O2 demands. This increase in cardiac output increases blood pressure. But the accompanying increase in arterial pressure is relatively small—only about 40%. What limits this increase in blood pressure so that it doesn't reach dangerously high levels during exercise? a. Blood vessels shorten in the contracting skeletal muscles. b. Blood volume decreases due to sweating. c. Vasodilation causes arterial diameter to increase in the exercising skeletal muscle. d. Hematocrit decreases as more interstitial fluid enters the blood vessels.
