Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prolonged stay at high altitude causes the body to adapt in various ways, including producing more hemoglobin, which increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, and producing more and larger red blood cells, which also contributes to better oxygen delivery to tissues. This is a known physiological response to hypoxia at high altitude.
