What else can I help you with?
What happens to the human body when going up in altitude?
at altitude amount of red blood cells increases . [fatima]
Why do they call red blood cells red blood cells?
RBC's can be bright red when they are exposed to Oxygen.
What happens when blood in capillaries flow the past cells?
Materials needed by the cells move from the blood into the cells, and waste materials move from the cells into the blood.
What happens to red blood cells at high elevations?
Polycythemia or an increase in red blood cells
What happens to blood cells if it has no oxygen?
They die
What process happens in the bone marrow?
Erythropoiesis (making red blood cells) and the synthesis of other blood cells.
What happens to cells if they undergo differentiation?
different types of blood cells are formed
Can high altitude lead to an increase in blood pressure?
Yes, high altitude can lead to an increase in blood pressure due to the lower oxygen levels in the air, which can cause the body to produce more red blood cells to compensate, leading to higher blood pressure.
Does blood thin when you increase in altitude?
No, blood does not physically thin when you increase in altitude. However, the lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes can lead to the production of more red blood cells to compensate for the decreased oxygen availability. This can make the blood more concentrated, but it does not physically "thin" it.
What happens if your liver does not make blood?
Bone marrow makes blood cells, not the liver.
What is the concentration of red blood cells?
The concentration of red blood cells in a healthy adult is typically around 4.5-6.0 million cells per microliter of blood. This concentration can vary slightly based on factors such as age, sex, and altitude.
Why do people in high attitude usually have more red blood cells than other people?
as the altitude is higher there is a reduced oxygen levels. oxygen is transported by healthy red blood cells. a greater number is found in residents of high altitude to ensure normal balances of oxygen uptake.
