Blood vessels in both digestive organs and skeletal muscles are dilated by sympathetic stimulation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood vessels in digestive organs are actually constricted by sympathetic stimulation, which reduces blood flow to these organs and redirects it towards the skeletal muscles. This is known as the "fight or flight" response, where the body prepares to physically confront or flee from a perceived threat. In contrast, blood vessels in skeletal muscles are dilated to enhance blood flow and oxygen delivery, which supports increased physical activity.
