Sample
use - Environmental & Comparative Physiology
Response
to High Altitude
Mt. McKinley (12,500 ft.) - Pbarop = 480 mmHg
Changes in Key Variables
 Arterial
PO2 |
Drops precipitously-hypoxia |
 Ventilation |
Rises to compensate |
 PCO2 |
Drops
due to hyperventilation (respiratory alkalosis) |
 Blood
pH |
Rises due to PCO2 drop |
 Bicarbonate |
Falls due to hyperventilation then begins to display renal compensation |
