Solution

The correct answer is "increased; decreased". During exercise, the body needs more oxygen and nutrients in the skeletal muscles to support the increased activity. Therefore, blood flow is increased to these areas. On the other hand, the digestive tract is less active during exercise, so blood flow is decreased to this area.
