The cold and low content of water vapors in the atmosphere which are characteristic to the high latitudes and which may decrease in the gas metabolism efficiency in the respiratory organs and may be considered as the leading link of the respiratory organ changes are known to be the mainfactors of the natural environment which may influence on the functional state of the human organism. The organism adaptation process features to the extreme weather conditions of Far North are known to consist in the morphological and functional changes in the respiratory organs, in particular, in increase in the area of the alveolar lung surface on the average by 24 % and the lung capillary volume - by 39 %. The increase in the systolic pressure in the lung artery higher than 30 mm of mercury column is also known to be process feature of the adaptation to the extreme weather conditions of Far North.

The increase in the functional reserves and the area of the gas metabolism due to the additional alveolar uncovering in the upper and middle lung zones may occur during the period of the initial adaptation to the cold. During the long-term residence in North (more than 10-15 years) the capability of the further increase in the adaptive organism reserves is known to be exhausted and the increase in the gas metabolism area may be observed mainly due to the morphological changes.
