When a person's heart and breathing rate increase while running a race, what does this help a person do?

Valvular stenosis is a condition in which the heart valves are stiff and do not open completely. In people with this condition, blood flow to the body is decreased.  How will valvular stenosis most likely affect body cells?

• That enough nutrients are dissolving in the blood

• That enough nitrogenous waste is being removed from the body

• That enough red blood cells are being replaced in the blood

• That enough oxygen is being delivered throughout the body
