A man has been standing in one place without moving for a long time. You walk by and notice that his ankles are swollen. What is a likely explanation for this observation?
◦ Since the man hasn't flexed his leg muscles, blood has not moved upward through the arteries so it stays pooled at his ankles.
◦ Since the man has not flexed his leg muscles, blood has not moved upward through the veins so it stays pooled at his ankles.
◦ The man's heart rate has likely increased because of inactivity, and thus the blood has pooled at his ankles.
◦ The man's blood pressure has likely increased because of inactivity, and thus the blood has pooled at his ankles.
