Scaling Mt Everest is very different from diving to the ocean floor, and yet similar in that both scenarios challenge our cardiorespiratory systems. Compare and contrast the nature of human exercise at high altitude and under water without supplemental O2. What are the main challenges? How does our body respond? Explain in detail changes to the gas transport cascades that allow us to perform in each situation. If an alligator were able to withstand the cold in high mountains, would it be more or less successful than humans? Explain your answer.
