homeostasis is a change away from the optimal operating environment. The body
attempts to correct this imbalance. One such imbalance is the effect of
increasing altitude on the body's ability t.... Part 2 of Paper

very high (12,000 - 18,000 feet), and extremely high (18,000+ feet), (Hubble,
1995). A common misperception of the change in external environment with

What is really happening is that the atmospheric pressure is decreasing
and subsequently the amount of oxygen.... |
