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.

Aclimatization.


Does aspirin act as a blood thinner at high altitudes?

Aspirin can act as a blood thinner at high altitudes by reducing the risk of blood clots due to its antiplatelet effects.


What is the adaptation for loading and unloading oxygen at high altitudes?

At high altitudes, the body adapts by increasing the production of red blood cells to carry more oxygen, increasing the breathing rate to take in more oxygen, and increasing the efficiency of oxygen transfer in the lungs. These adaptations help to ensure that enough oxygen is available for the body's tissues despite the lower oxygen concentration at high altitudes.

What happens to your circulatory system and your respiratory system when you live at high altitudes?

== == It is stressed, but will adapt. The circulatory system cannot work as efficiently, because there is less oxygen and CO2. After being at a high altitude for a long time, the body will adapt. It will produce more red blood cells so that it can pick up more oxygen, since less oxygen is carried by each hemoglobin at high altitudes.


Which animal has the largest red blood cells?

Mammals have red blood cells that vary in size for different species. However, llamas are known to have some of the largest red blood cells among mammals, which is a feature that helps them adapt to high altitudes.


Does high altitude affect overall blood gases?

Increase of altitude does affect blood pressure, but not by much. And your body will adapt over time. For example, people at higher altitudes produce more red blood cells to carry oxygen. If you have cronic hypertention or you are on meds for high blood pressue you should probably talk to your doctor before going to an altitude of over 4000 feet.


How would mitochondria have an impact in sports performance?

Since the mitochondria produce energy for the body's cells, they are essential in physical activity as more energy is used so more energy must be provided to the muscle cells. People who are able to develop more red blood cells at high altitudes are able to provide their cells with more oxygen so can make more energy quicker. Mitochondria are the organelles that produce energy in the form of ATP for a cell.
