Hello, professor, I want the same solution, but in a very beautiful line, clear and it will be manual in a paper. Thank you, professor.
Q4/ Explain why some people experience nose bleeding and some others experience shortness of breath at high elevations. The atmospheric pressure, which is the external pressure exerted on the skin, decreases with increasing elevation. Therefore, the pressure is lower at higher elevations. As a result, the difference between the blood pressure in the veins and the air pressure outside increases. This pressure imbalance may cause some thin- walled veins such as the ones in the nose to burst, causing bleeding. The shortness of breath is caused by the lower air density at higher elevations, and thus lower amount of oxygen per unit volume.
