which of the following metabolic changes are observed in ACCLIMATIZATION?
High-Yield Explanation
Acclimatization at high altitude: &;*-Various physiological readjustments and compensatory mechanisms in body that reduces the effects of hypoxia in permanent residents at high altitude. * It is done by- A great increase in pulmonary ventilation Increase diffusion capacity of lung Increased ability of the tissue cells to use 02 Increased vital capacity due to prolonged hypoxia leads to to hyperventilation which results in co2 wash aout causing RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS REF :guyton and hall
