Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hemorrhage results in a loss of blood volume, leading to decreased blood pressure. The body compensates by redirecting blood flow to vital organs (like the brain and heart) at the expense of other tissues, including the kidneys. This compensation mechanism aims to maintain blood flow to essential organs, thus reducing blood flow to other tissues.
