Scenario: Your friend Bo J. is a world-class dancer. But Bo recently has had a hard time really dancing for the typical 4 or 5 hours each night that he usually does. Bo goes to the medical doctors and they diagnose him with a rare medical issue: the skeletal muscle cells in his legs are not passing enough CO2 to his arterioles during and after exercise. He comes to you, his friend and dancing parter, to ask why producing his legs are getting so tired during dancing. What would you tell Bo that the problem is likely...(see image)

**YES**

1. **Excessive Nitric Oxide Production in Muscles**  
   His muscle tissues are producing too much nitric oxide. This may lead to vasodilation, affecting blood flow regulation.

2. **Insufficient Arteriole Vasoconstriction**  
   His arterioles are not sufficiently vasoconstricting. Proper vasoconstriction is essential for regulating blood pressure and flow.

3. **Inadequate Vasodilation in Leg Arterioles**  
   His leg arterioles are not sufficiently vasodilating. This may impede adequate blood supply to the tissues during increased activity.

4. **Overdelivery of Glucose to Tissues**  
   His tissues are receiving a lot more glucose than they need. Excess glucose can affect metabolic processes and lead to various health issues.

This explanation describes common physiological conditions that involve the regulation of blood flow and nutrient delivery, focusing on the role of nitric oxide, arteriole function, and glucose distribution in the human body.
