Whats the difference in ur arteries when u r stressed and when u run. do ur arteries narrow/constrict or expand in the different situations?

Physiology: Hi, during physical activity the brain needs more blood flow and the blood pressure has to go up, our body constricts the arteries to increase the blood pressure and provide enough blood supply to the brain.
