Gas emboli occur due to bubbling of _____ out of blood, due to rapid ascent by a diver

#4

Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:At high altitudes, exercise capacity is hinderd by _____ in total O2 available

#5

In response to high altitude, there is chronic hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction which results in pulmonary _____ and RV hypertrophy
