I came across a question in a past biology theory paper today;
'State how many times a red blood cell must pass through the heart when it travels from the lungs and returns to the lungs'
and also:
'At high altitudes there is less oxygen in the air than at sea level.
Suggest how this might affect the uptake of oxygen in the alveoli'
Thanks :DDD
