#1

At _____ altitude the partial pressure gradient of O2 is lower and thus equilibration takes longer

#2

Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:_____ pH inhibits brain stem and reduces maximal exercise effort

#3

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

#4

High altitude initially causes _____ alkalosis and hypoxia, which may cause acute altitude sickness

#5

ascent should not be > _____ meters/minute to avoid mountain sickness

#6

mountain sickness is seen in altitudes of >_____ meters

#7

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

#8

Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:_____ in pulmonary ventilation upon rising to a high altitude* blows off large quantities of CO2, reducing the PCO2

#9

Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:To make up for the respiratory alkalosis, kidneys _____ hydrogen ion secretion and increase bicarbonate excretion.

#10

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