1
Q
Physiologic asaptation to hypoxia at high altitudes achieved by staying at the altitude for a prolonged period of time
A
Acclimatization
2
Q
Physiologic responses of hypoxia
A
Increased alveolar ventilation Increase RBC increase diffusing lung capacity increase vascularity in tissues increase O2 capacity usage of the cells despite low PO2 levels
