People living at sea level have around 5 million RBC per cubic millimeter of their blood whereas those living at an altitude of 5400 metres have around 8 million. This is because at high altitude:
people get pollution-free air to breathe and more oxygen is available
atmospheric O2 level is less and hence more RBCs are needed to absorb the required amount of O2 to survive
there is more UV radiation which enhances RBC production
there is more UV radiation which enhances RBC production
B.
atmospheric O2 level is less and hence more RBCs are needed to absorb the required amount of O2 to survive
At high altitudes, the atmospheric O2 level is less and hence, more RBCs are needed to absorb the required amount of O2 to survive. That is why, the people living at sea level have around 5 million RBC/mm3 of their blood whereas those living at an altitude of 5400 meters have around 8 million RBC/mm3 of their blood.
The majority of carbon dioxide produced by our body cells is transported to the lungs
dissolved in the blood
as bircarbonates
as carbonates
