Explanation:

In the context of the fight - or - flight response, when the body is preparing to deal with a threat, blood is redirected. "Shunted" here means that blood is diverted away from non - essential areas (like fingers, toes, and digestive system) to areas that need it more for fighting or fleeing, such as large muscles in arms and legs.

A. diverted
