Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The vascular shunt mechanism begins at the Vasomotor Control Centre (VCC). The VCC controls blood pressure and is located in the Medulla Oblongata. The VCC stimulates the Sympathetic Nervous System to redistribute the blood carried along the vessels to all parts of the body.
