It is difficult to heal a wound on a mountain. Why? Explain.
(N/A) At high altitudes,the atmospheric pressure is significantly lower than at sea level. However,the internal blood pressure within the human body remains relatively constant. Due to this pressure difference,the outward pressure exerted by the blood is higher than the inward pressure exerted by the atmosphere. This imbalance makes it difficult for blood to clot effectively and for the wound to heal properly,often leading to increased bleeding.
