Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During exercise, there is an increased demand for oxygen and nutrients by the skeletal muscle and heart. This leads to an increased stroke volume (amount of blood pumped out by the heart per beat), increased cardiac rate (number of heartbeats per minute), and shunting of blood from visceral organs to skeletal muscle and heart. However, there is actually increased vasodilation (widening) of the coronary arteries to ensure that the heart is sufficiently supplied with oxygen and nutrients during exercise. Therefore, option D is the best answer as it contradicts the actual physiological response that occurs during exercise.
