ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY
ASSIGNMENT 4 & 5

TAN SUE HAN 116723
QUESTION 1:

How do strenuous activities like
climbing the mountains affect
the circulatory and respiratory
system?
Circulatory system
Due to the increased need for oxygen
and increased level of carbon dioxide in
the cells, more oxygenated blood must
be pumped to the cells in order to
supply the oxygen the cells need and
remove the carbon dioxide the cells
produced.
 Hence, the heart will start pumping
faster, the frequency of the heart
pumping increases.

Respiratory system
The surface of gas exchange
happens at the alveoli, which is
only one cell thick.
 A steady supply of oxygen is
required for the body to perform
at its maximum. Mountain
climbers will need more oxygen.

Breathing frequency increases,
and the intercostal muscles work
antagonistically to help enhance
the breathing process.
 More air is inhaled, and more
carbon dioxide is exhaled out.

QUESTION 2:
What are the changes to the
respiratory and circulatory system
when the mountain climber
reached the highest peak?






Higher the altitude (i.e. the peak), the thinner
the air gets. Hence, the oxygen the mountain
climber is much more lower compared to the
level of the oxygen he can get on lower
ground.
To adapt to the surroundings, there will be an
increase in breathing rate and heart
rate, even when the body is at rest, in order
to provide the body with more oxygen.
The heart will beat at a higher rate so that
more oxygen reaches the cell, by pumping
oxygenated blood.
QUESTION 3:
If he were to suffer from hypoxia/
high altitude sickness, what are his
symptoms and what are the
possible treatments?
Among the symptoms of hypoxia
are :









Rapid breathing
Poor coordination
Dizziness
Muscles fatigue
Lethargy
Headache
Cyanosis (Blue discolouration of the skin)
The possible treatments are:






Supplemental oxygen therapy which the
patients will be asked to wear a face mask
connected to an oxygen cylinder
Blood transfusions are given if the mountain
climber has hypoxemic hypoxia (abnormally
low level of oxygen in blood, more specifically
in arterial blood)
Medications
BONUS QUESTION:

Would it make any differences if
the climber is female?
NO, NOT REALLY.





Mountain climbing activity depends on the
endurance of that particular person. But then
again, male have more upper strength while
females have more fats in their body.
So, each gender has its own pros and cons.
But ultimately, it is the stamina and how well
the body adapts to the surroundings are what
really matters when it comes to climbing
mountains.
