- C.
To slow blood outflow
Correct Answer
C. To slow blood outflowExplanation
The veins constrict in order to slow down the outflow of blood. This constriction helps in maintaining blood pressure and preventing excessive blood loss. When the veins constrict, the diameter of the blood vessels decreases, which reduces the volume of blood flowing out of them. This mechanism is particularly important in situations where the body needs to conserve blood, such as during injury or hemorrhage. By slowing down the outflow of blood, the veins assist in maintaining a stable circulation and preventing hypovolemia.Rate this question:
