sponse to a decrease in tissue metabolic activity, tissue oxygen concentrations ________, which causes a(n) ________. increase : active hyperemic response decrease : dilation of the arterioles decrease : increase in tissue ischemia decrease : active hyperemic response increase : constriction of the arterioles
The correct answer is - increase: constriction of the arterioles.
Explanation:
When the physical activity is decreased by the tissues of the muscle, the oxygen concentration in the tissue increases which leads to the constriction of the arterioles.
It takes place in order to decrease blood flow and blood pressure as oxygen requirement is less in the tissue in decreased physical metabolic activity. The constriction of arterioles results in more resistance to decrease the blood flow in capillaries.
