Why does blood flow increase to the muscle if arteriolar dilation increases? Isn't it Q = Av so if A increases, then v decreases and Q remains constant? Simple question but I feel I'm missing something here. Come to think of it, does blood flow to the muscles increase while blood flow back to the heart (through the veins) decrease in order to have Q constant? Thanks.
