Regarding skeletal muscle blood flow, which of the following statements is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exercise results in greater increases in blood flow than application of a heat pack. Although both heat and exercise can increase muscle blood flow, the increase with exercise is higher due to additional mechanisms such as the release of vasoactive hormones and the increase in cardiac output. Duration of heat application as described in option C is not necessarily true and may depend on factors such as intensity of the heat source and temperature applied. Option D is incorrect as exercise and superficial heat can both increase skeletal muscle blood flow through various mechanisms.
