During acclimatization at higher altitude, the sensitivity of central and peripheral chemoreceptors _____creases
#2
Stimulation of nerve endings on the surface of the body by cold water causes _____ leading to Hydrocution/Immersion syndrome
#3
High altitude initially causes _____ alkalosis and hypoxia, which may cause acute altitude sickness
#4
In response to high altitude, there is chronic hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction which results in pulmonary _____ and RV hypertrophy
#5
Cardiac arrhythmias leading to ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation are commonly seen in _____water drowning ONLY
#6
ascent should not be > _____ meters/minute to avoid mountain sickness
#7
mountain sickness is seen in altitudes of >_____ meters
#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.
