Hypoxia and Oxygen Transport — Flashcards
At _____ altitude the partial pressure gradient of O2 is lower and thus equilibration takes longer
Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:_____ pH inhibits brain stem and reduces maximal exercise effort
Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:At high altitudes, exercise capacity is hinderd by _____ in total O2 available
High altitude initially causes _____ alkalosis and hypoxia, which may cause acute altitude sickness
ascent should not be > _____ meters/minute to avoid mountain sickness
mountain sickness is seen in altitudes of >_____ meters
In response to high altitude, there is chronic hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction which results in pulmonary _____ and RV hypertrophy
Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:_____ in pulmonary ventilation upon rising to a high altitude* blows off large quantities of CO2, reducing the PCO2
Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:To make up for the respiratory alkalosis, kidneys _____ hydrogen ion secretion and increase bicarbonate excretion.
Gas emboli occur due to bubbling of _____ out of blood, due to rapid ascent by a diver
