ANSWER: (C) More O2 delievery to tissueREF: Ganongs 22nd ed p. 686Acclimatization at high altitude is due to following compensatory mechanismsIncreased RBC 23 BPG which causes decreased affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen, making more oxygen available for tissue.Increased erythropoietinIncrease in number of mitochondriaIncrease in myoglobin contentIncrease in content of cytochrome oxidase
Hemiconcentration
Decresed CO2 saturation
More O2 delievery to tissue
