Low altitude cause edema?
No.Low altitude is close to sea level, which usually doesn't cause edema.HIgh altitude OTOH, as experienced by mountaineers, can cause edema.
What is the relationship between water vapor and altitude?
as altitude inscreases, water vapor level decreases
At what altitude does fog appear?
Fog is usually a very low altitude, probably about ground level.
What do we call the distance above sea level?
Altitude
If an altitude is negative where is the object?
Altitude is the distance above ground-level that an object is, in a vertical direction (that is, directly away from the centre of the Earth). If this is negative then the object is below ground-level, so it is underground.
Low altitude cause edema?
No.Low altitude is close to sea level, which usually doesn't cause edema.HIgh altitude OTOH, as experienced by mountaineers, can cause edema.
What bodily changes happen in sky diving?
As long as you stay at a normal altitude (15,000 ft and below), there aren't any permanent physical changes. As you approach higher altitudes, the air has less oxygen per cubic foot than it does at sea level. This lack of oxygen and increased physical activity at altitude can cause a reduced oxygen level in the body resulting in a feeling of light-headedness or hypoxia.
What is the difference between a negative the altitude and a positive altitude?
Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.
Who does a permanent move from sea level to a high altitude effect red blood cell count?
Hemostasis would increase the number of RBCs in circulation to allow for enough transport of oxygen. This also happens in smokers, (to compensate for the loss of functional lung surface) when smokers move to high altitude, they have less "buffer" to compensate. Populations living in high altitudes have developed a number of adaptations to cope with the lack of oxygen (compared to sea level). Among which increased lung capacity and more effective red blood cells.
What happens when hemoglobin is happens?
They will have a better oxygen transport in their blood, this is why endurance athletes use doping substances or high altitude training to increase their hemoglobin levels. The drawback of a high hemoglobin level is that your blood is more likely to form thrombosis and cause stroke or heart attacks.
Is a creatinine blood level of 1.06 cause for concern?
creatinine blood level of 1.06 byitself is not a cause for concern. Normal adult levels are 0.5/0.6 to 1.1/1.2.
What else can cause blood alcohol level to change?
Alcohol
What do you call the height above sea level point on the earths surface?
It is called altitude. It is typically expressed as ASL (above mean sea level, or MSL). However, it can also be specified as AGL (Above the local Ground Level).
What is lake tahoe's altitude?
The altitude varies based upon the water level in the lake. The highest level was 6,229 feet and the average altitude is about 6,224 feet.
Is the height of a triangle an altitude?
No, an altitude is a height above sea level.
What is cabin altitude?
Cabin Altitude is the 'Cabin pressure' in terms of equivalent altitude above sea level .
What is altitude?
== == Science Major: Altitude is height above mean sea level (MSL) or true altitude, which means in reference to what sea level is on the ground, or height above ground level (AGL), which is also called absolute altitude, which means height above the ground with no reference to the ground's height above sea level. In example, if the sea level in a certain place is 100 feet and you are 250 feet above the ground, your altitude above sea level would be 350 feet, and your altitude above ground level would be 250 feet.
