Extreme Environments: Lessons from Ocean Depths Adaptations of the Heart: Comparative Responses to Diving and Hypoxia Across Species…Many physiological mechanisms have evolved in living organisms to cope with extreme environments, including high altitudes or deep ocean depths. These include changes in oxygen transport and utilization, metabolic adjustments, strategies to retain heat in cold conditions, adaptations to withstand high pressure, mechanisms for surviving in darkness, and efficient energy use to cope with limited food availability. https://www.piplettes-pasteur.com/post/extreme-environments-lessons-from-ocean-depths
