You are climbing Mount Fuji for your 30th birthday. In the midst of your excitement, you forgot to bring along your oxygen tank. Please describe, in terms of the human physiology which we have covered this quarter, the ways in which the body will respond to increasing altitude. Please include the physiologic responses of the hematologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal systems.
