... Your lungs are pink, spongy organs. Inside each of them there are tubes, called bronchi, that branch out into smaller and smaller tubes. They must get really small, because all together you have about 1,500 miles of airway tubing! At the very end of the tubes are tiny sacs called alveoli. You have a ...

Organisms at high altitude



Organisms can live at high altitude, either on land, or while flying. Decreased oxygen availability and decreased temperature make life at high altitude challenging. Despite these environmental conditions, many species have been successfully adapted at high altitudes. Animals have developed physiological adaptations to enhance oxygen uptake and delivery to tissues which can be used to sustain metabolism. The strategies used by animals to adapt to high altitude depend on their morphology and phylogeny.
