Bio/Research
Our tolerance for physical activity plays an important role in our quality of life, and depends in part on how well our muscle's demand for oxygen is met. This requires that the cardiovascular system constantly adjusts blood flow to active muscles while maintaining arterial blood pressure. Accomplishing these goals requires integrated control of cardiac output with vasodilation and vasoconstriction of both exercising skeletal muscle and other vascular beds.
