How is blood flow related to lung function during exercise? A. Blood vessels are dilated to increase the amount of oxygen carried in the blood, and the lungs work harder to meet the body's oxygen demands B. Blood volume increases during exercise, making the body more efficient, so it is not necessary for the lungs to work as hard. C. The lungs determine the speed at which the heart pumps, so blood flows at a level that accommodates oxygen absorption in the muscles. D. The lungs expand and contract, which increases the rate of blood flow so the muscles can convert stored energy to energy for muscle movement

The correct answer is A. Blood vessels are dilated to increase the amount of oxygen carried in the blood, and the lungs work harder to meet the body's oxygen demands.

During exercise or strenuous physical activity, our blood vessels dilate (expand) so that more oxygen (which is present in our blood) can circulate in our body and muscles to provide us with energy. In order to supply adequate oxygen to the body, the lungs work harder to meet our body's high oxygen demands. 

Answer:

The answer is A because your blood vessels involuntarily dilates to carry more oxygen to keep up with the increased heart rate.
