(i) Write specific name of above condition?
(ii) Explain the reason of such condition?

Answer 1

Due to low concentration of oxygen in blood, climber become weak and unable to think clear -
(i) The specific name of above condition is anoxia.

(ii) The reason of such condition:

At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is less than that at the ground level. With decrease in partial pressure of oxygen, the concentration of dissolved oxygen also decreases. It results in low oxygen concentration in tissues and blood.
