- Mountain climbers often use the expression “thin air” to describe atmospheric conditions at high elevation. For example Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air is about a deadly climbing expedition to Mount Everest. What does it mean to say the air gets “thinner” as you climb upward? Explain the reason why the air gets “thinner” with increasing altitude. Briefly explain why it becomes difficult to breathe in “thin” air. Your answer should include something about the human physiology of breathing and why it is more difficult when the air is "thinner."arrow_forwardA.The membrane on the surface of the lung. B.The membrane on the surface of the heart. C.The membrane that lines the wall of the abdominopelvic cavity. D.The membrane on the surface of the stomach. E.The thin, watery fluid located between the pleural membranes. F.The area of the thoracic cavity between the two lungs. G.The muscular structure that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. H.The membrane touching the posterior surface of the sternum (breast bone) I.The membrane deep to ribs but superficial to pleural fluid. word choices Visceral pericardium parietal pericardium visceral pleura diaphragm serous fluid parietal peritoneum mediastinum parietal pleura visceral peritoneumarrow_forwardAt which point in the mammalian circulatory system does the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood experience its greatest increase?

Carbon dioxide released during respiration can affect the % oxygen saturation of haemoglobin. Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid. Which statements below explains the effect of carbon dioxide on haemoglobin? A. The release of hydrogen ions causes the pH to rise, which reduces haemoglobin's affinity for охуgen. B. The release of hydrogen ions causes the pH to rise, which increases haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. C. The release of hydrogen ions causes the pH to fall, which increases haemoglobin's affinity for охygen. D. The release of hydrogen ions causes the pH to fall, which reduces haemoglobin's affinity for охуgen. E. None of the above can explain the change. 2.
