Why does breathing rate increase at a high altitude?
At high altitude, there is less oxygen, so breathing rate is increased to compensate.
Why do people have trouble breathing at the top of a high mountain?
Because of the high altitude.
Is there any danger to a healthy person from high altitude breathing?
There is danger to a healthy person from high altitude breathing because the oxygen level is very low which could possibly cause a heart attack or stroke.
In higher altitude what happens to your breathing?
Your breathing can become laboured due to your smaller lung capacity in high altitudes.
How do people adapt to living at high altitude?
Increase in breathing and heart rate
Is Denver considered a high altitude breathing problem area?
yes, the higher the altitude the thinner the air, thus the less oxygen in the air.
What is aviator breathing oxygen?
Pilot because it is thin at high altitude in non pressurized cabin.
Why in high altitude you face breathing problems?
B/c the higher you go the less air there is to breathe from.
Is o2 saturation lower at high altitude is oxygen saturation lower at a high altitude?
The atmospheric saturation of oxygen decreases as altitude increases. Almost all humans can't live above 18,000 feet due to low oxygen concentrations
What are the adaptations of an alpacas blood pressure?
Alpacas have adapted to high altitude in several ways. One special way is that alpaca do not suffer from hypertension as humans and cattle when left at high altitude for long periods of time.
What has air composition to do with why breathing at high altitude is difficult?
It is not so much as the composition that is important, it is that at higher altitudes there is less air. Air is about 20% oxygen, but the higher up you go in altitude, the thinner air will have less oxygen. That's what makes breathing more difficult at higher altitudes.
Is difficulty breathing a symptom of a high white blood cell count?
No, unless the number of red blood cells is very low.
