Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intestinal blood flow is primarily regulated by oxygen levels. A decrease in oxygen levels will cause an increase in intestinal blood flow to compensate for the decreased oxygenation of tissues. Adenosine, cholecystokinin, gastrin, and secretin levels do not have a direct effect on intestinal blood flow.
