Answer:

D

Explanation:

High altitude is a challenge for the human body due to the progressive reduction in barometric pressure leading to series of important physiologic responses that enable individuals to adapt and secure the oxygen supply to tissues. Reduction in oxygen pressure causes physiological responses in body which include increase in hematocrit. Also, the development of systemic hypertension is influenced by high altitude due to relative low oxygen which has significant consequences on the cardiovascular system and on blood pressure regulation. The lung response to acute altitude exposure also includes hyperventilation which aims at achieving adequate supply of oxygen to the tissues.

Therefore, regular oxygen uptake, greater ventilation, more basic hypoxic ventilation, larger lung volumes, greater diffusing capacities and increased blood pressure are typical of Jill as he adapts to the higher altitude after a month.

Which organism lacks tissue?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

By definition, tissues are absent from unicellular organisms. Even among the simplest multicellular species, such as sponges, tissues are lacking or are poorly differentiated. But multicellular animals and plants that are more advanced have specialized tissues that can organize and regulate an organism’s response to its environment.
