So that blood flow to individual organs in the mammalian circulatory system can be altered without appreciably affecting blood flow to other organs
A) the arteries supply the major organs in parallel rather than in series.
B) the heartbeat generates relatively high arterial blood pressure.
C) negative feedback systems make compensatory changes to peripheral resistance throughout the circulatory system.
D) baroreceptors detect and respond to changes in blood pressure.
E) All of the answers are correct.

Each choice contributes to the ability of the mammalian circulatory system to alter blood flow to individual organs without significantly affecting others. Arteries supplying organs in parallel allow for independent regulation of blood flow, high arterial blood pressure ensures efficient blood distribution, negative feedback systems adjust peripheral resistance to maintain balance, and baroreceptors monitor and respond to blood pressure changes, facilitating targeted adjustments.
