A permanent move to a high altitude area can cause an increase in red blood cell production to compensate for the lower oxygen levels, leading to higher hemoglobin levels in the blood. This response helps the body transport oxygen more efficiently in the thinner air at high altitudes.

How does a permanent move from sea level to high-altitude area effect RBC?

A permanent move from sea level to a high-altitude area can lead to an increase in red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) due to lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes. This is the body's way of compensating for the reduced oxygen availability in the atmosphere by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.


What is the effect of a permanent move from sea level to a high-altitude area have on RBC count?

A permanent move from sea level to a high-altitude area can lead to an increase in red blood cell (RBC) count. This is the body's response to the lower oxygen levels at high altitudes, as having more RBCs helps in delivering oxygen to tissues more efficiently in such environments.


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.


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.


What is the maximum sound level in decibels that can cause permanent hearing damage, with 1100 dB being the threshold?

The maximum sound level that can cause permanent hearing damage is around 85-90 decibels. Sounds above this level, especially prolonged exposure, can lead to hearing loss. The threshold for permanent damage is much lower than 1100 dB.


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.

What is the maximum sound level in decibels that can cause permanent hearing damage, with 230 dB being the threshold?

The maximum sound level that can cause permanent hearing damage is around 130 decibels. Sound levels above 130 decibels can lead to hearing loss.


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.
