Question
Chapter 48.8, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether in Fujiwara’s study some infants had high oxygen levels of about 70 mmHg after the surfactant therapy.
Introduction: The adrenal glands are responsible for making the glucocorticoids hormone. The function performed by the hormone glucocorticoids is the stimulation of surfactant production in the lungs.

Explain your answer. Calculate the average ml of oxygen molecules in 100 ml blood in the athletes at low altitude and then in athletes in high altitude while training at high altitude. Use the following information: 1.39 ml of oxygen per gram of hemoglobin. Do athletes training at high altitudes have more or less oxygen molecules per ml of blood then athletes training at low altitudes? Explain why this difference gives athletes who train at high altitudes an advantage over athletes who train only at low altitudes.arrow_forward
