Study NotesQuestions
#1

ascent should not be > _____ meters/minute to avoid mountain sickness

#2

mountain sickness is seen in altitudes of >_____ meters

#3

In response to high altitude, there is chronic hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction which results in pulmonary _____ and RV hypertrophy

#4

Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:_____ in pulmonary ventilation upon rising to a high altitude* blows off large quantities of CO2, reducing the PCO2

#5

Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:To make up for the respiratory alkalosis, kidneys _____ hydrogen ion secretion and increase bicarbonate excretion.

#6

Gas emboli occur due to bubbling of _____ out of blood, due to rapid ascent by a diver

#7

At _____ altitude the partial pressure gradient of O2 is lower and thus equilibration takes longer

#8

High altitude initially causes _____ alkalosis and hypoxia, which may cause acute altitude sickness

#9

During acclimatization at higher altitude, the sensitivity of central and peripheral chemoreceptors _____creases

#10

Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:_____ pH inhibits brain stem and reduces maximal exercise effort

About Altitude and Diving Physiology Flashcards for NEET-PG

These Altitude and Diving Physiology flashcards are designed for NEET-PG Physiology preparation, using active recall to help you retain high-yield concepts, clinical correlations, and commonly tested facts. Each card prompts you to retrieve information from memory rather than passively reviewing notes, which research shows leads to significantly better exam performance.

The 16 cards in this deck cover the most important topics in Altitude and Diving Physiology, including key mechanisms, diagnostic criteria, treatment protocols, and clinical pearls that frequently appear in NEET-PG examinations. Cards are organised by chapter so you can focus on specific areas or work through the entire topic systematically.
