How does your blood adapt to high altitudes?

The percentage of oxygen in the air at two miles altitude is essentially the same as at sea level. However, the air pressure is 30% lower at altitude. This means that the molecules are less dense and more spread out. When you arrive at a high altitude, the low pressure makes it difficult for oxygen to enter our vascular system.
