During running, more blood going to muscles than to the digestive system shows which biological priority?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Providing energy for immediate movement
The governing concept is coordination of blood distribution during physical activity. Running sharply increases the muscles’ demand for oxygen, glucose, and removal of carbon dioxide and other wastes. The body therefore prioritises active muscles, while digestive activity becomes relatively less urgent. Adrenaline contributes to this fight-or-flight adjustment, although blood flow is controlled by several mechanisms. The other choices describe unrelated processes, so option A is correct.
