ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -How your body reacts to stress may affect your blood pressure. Any time your “fight or flight” response kicks in, your blood pressure spikes, and even low-level stress that lasts over long periods of time can contribute to higher blood pressure and related health issues.

Detailed explanation-2: -During exercise, the extraction of oxygen from blood coursing through exchange vessels lowers venous oxygen content compared to quiescent muscle. As a consequence, the arterio-venous oxygen content difference increases with activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -High blood pressure can damage the larger blood vessels leading to your kidneys and the smaller vessels inside your kidneys. Over time, this damage prevents the kidneys from doing their job properly. This is called kidney disease and can lead to kidney failure.

Detailed explanation-4: -During exercise, the cardiovascular system redistributes the blood so that more of it goes to the working muscles and less of it goes to other body organs such as the digestive system. This redirection of blood flow is caused by a mechanism (or process) called the vascular shunt mechanism.
