Mya is running a marathon. Her heartbeat increases. How does the increase in heartbeats assist Mya’s respiratory system?

Answer
A
The increase of blood through her body allows for more oxygen to be delivered to her tissues.
B
The increase of blood through her body allows for less oxygen to be delivered to her tissues.
C
The increase of blood through her body allows for more carbon dioxide to be delivered to her tissues.
D
The increase of blood through her body allows for less carbon dioxide to be delivered to her tissues.

Explanation

When Mya runs, her muscles need more oxygen to release energy. A faster heartbeat increases blood flow, so more oxygen can be carried from the lungs to her tissues. Therefore, the correct choice is A: more oxygen is delivered to her tissues.
