$(a)$ The heart beats faster to supply more oxygen to the muscles.
$(b)$ Blood supply to the digestive system and skin is reduced due to the contraction of muscles around small arteries. This diverts more blood to the skeletal muscles.
$(c)$ The breathing rate increases due to the contractions of the diaphragm and rib muscles,which allows for more oxygen intake.
