To review:
The correctness and incorrectness of the statement that the increase in the red blood cell count in tourists visiting Tibet is an example of acclimatization.
Introduction:
Acclimatization refers to the process in which an individual organism adapts to the changes in the environment such as a change in the temperature, altitude, pH (potential of hydrogen), or humidity.

- What is thermoregulation and why is it necessary for the human body to function properly? List two physiological responses the human body takes to when its core temperature gets too high. Briefly explain how each works to reduce core temperature. Explain why one of these responses will not work if the air temperature is extremely high. Explain why one of these responses will not work if the relative humidity is extremely high.arrow_forwardIf he eat one boiled egg, calculate the percentage of cholesterol he gets from this egg compared with the maximum amount of required cholesterol intakearrow_forwardToncity is thearrow_forward
