CORONARY CIRCULATION
Blood supply during exercise is increased in:
| A |
Cutaneous circulation |
|
| B |
Hepato-splanchnic circulation |
|
| C |
Renal circulation |
|
| D |
Coronary circulation |

Coronary circulation |
D i.e Coronary circulation
During exercise blood is shunted from regions that do not require immediate support to areas with increased demands. (e.g. skeletal muscles, heart.)

Sympathetic stimulation decreases blood flow in skin.
Sympathetic Stimulation
- Stimulation of sympathetic fibers causes vasoconstriction but it is not important, as the vasocontricor system is not well developed in cerebral vascular bed.
- Sympathetic stimulation increases myocardial blood flow through an increased metabolic demand and a predominance of beta-receptor activation.
