CHAPTER 22Respiration: The Exchange of Gases Modules 22.1 – 22.4
Surviving in Thin Air • The air at the height of the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest, is very low in oxygen • Even expert mountain climbers do not always survive the journey • Thin air can weaken muscles, damage the digestive system, cloud the mind, and sometimes fill the lungs with blood
Their efficient lungs draw more oxygen from the atmosphere • Their hemoglobin has a high affinity for oxygen • They have a large number of capillaries to deliver this oxygen-rich blood to tissues and muscles • Geese have adaptations that allow them to fly over the Himalayas
