At higher altitudes there is less oxygen in the air How might the composition of blood in people living in these higher altitudes differ from the blood in people living at sea level?

In an effort to take in as much Oxygen is available to us, the human body increases the number of RBCs in the system, which also would reflect in a higher Haemoglobin count for such people.

What is difference between the lifestyle of people living on high altitudes and low altitudes?
People living at high altitudes tend to have larger lung capacity and higher red blood cell count to adapt to lower oxygen levels. They may also have a lower resting metabolic rate. In contrast, people living at low altitudes may have faster metabolism and lower red blood cell count due to higher oxygen levels.
What is the difference between the lifestyle of people living in high altitudes and low altitudes?
One difference n the life style of people living in high altitudes instead of low altitudes is weight. People living in high altitudes are typically not over weight. They also have less heart disease
Does the composition of a sedimentary rock depend upon the composition of the rocks and the living things its sediments came from?
It is true that the composition of a sedimentary rock depends upon the composition of the rocks and living things its sediments come from. Sedimentary rocks form through lithification.
People living at high altitudes have thicker blood so that what gas reaches body cells?
oxygen
How does living in high altitudes influence tidal volume?
how does lining in high altitude influence tidal volume
People living in higher altitude have more red blood cells than those who live in the lowlands?
the reason for this is there is less oxygen in higher altitudes, therefore they need more red blood cells to maintain oxygen saturation in the blood. jsyk, red blood cells are the transporters of oxygen in the body.
What is biochemical composition?
It means the arrangement of the chemistry of the compounds of living tissues and the processes in a living organism.
Study the chemical composition of living things and metabolism?
Biochemist
How do living things and non living things differ in their movement?
non-living things move by magic
How do organisms differ from non-living things?
consist of organisms and the non living things.
How can high altitudes produce more blood cells?
People who live in higher altitudes have better lung capacity then those at sea level because the air is thinner at higher altitudes so more needs to be drawn in at a time. People who are born on a very hign mountain or plain also produce more red blood cells, to gather more oxygen, than people at sea level.
