Answer(s): B



The three principal mechanisms for increasing venous return during dynamic exercise are

  1. A decrease in SV, HR, and compliance of the vascular system.
  2. Venoconstriction, pumping action of muscle, and the pumping action of the respiratory system.
  3. An increase in vascular resistance, increase in HR, and decrease in blood pressure.
  4. None of the above.

Answer(s): B
