PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood does indeed rush to the stomach and intestines following a meal, providing relevant systems with oxygen and transporting the products of digestion. To maintain overall blood pressure, our heart rate increases and blood vessels constrict.

Detailed explanation-2: -During exercise there isn’t a need for high amounts of blood flow to the digestive system and so this is diverted to the muscle. Hence, there is decreased rate of blood flow through the digestive system during exercise.

Detailed explanation-3: -The major arteries supplying the gastrointestinal tract are the celiac, superior mesenteric, and inferior mesenteric arteries.
