Q
environmental conditions at altitude
A
reduced barometric pressure
low humidity
reduced air temperature
increase in solar radiation intensity

A
hyperventilation
body fluids become more alkaline due to the reduction in co2 because of hyper ventilation
5

A
hyperventilization
excretion in base through kidney and cocomitant reduction in alkaline reserve
