Air pressure is the amount of air pushing down on you over a given area. In weather reports it is generally based on 14.7 lb/in2 as "normal". It rises or lowers with high or low systems and predicts changes in weather such as storms. many household barometers measure air pressure and have an indicator that points to weather conditions such as Fair, Storm, or Change as the pressure changes.

What happens to the air pressure in your chest cavity when you diaphragm relaxes?
OK, do you mean when the airway is open? If open, a slight decrease in pressure momentarily. If closed, a larger decrease in pressure.
What happens if the air pressure in the throat and outside is less than the air pressure in your middle ear when you swallow?
if the aie pressure in the throat and outside the body is less than the air pressure in your middle ear when you swallow the air pressure in your middle ear reaches the same pressure as the air in your throat and outside , and the eardrum moves quickly back-or'pops' into place
Pressure inside human body?
The air pressure inside a human body is roughly equivalent to the pressure of the atmosphere. Normal air pressure is about 13.7 pounds per square inch at sea level.
Does change in air pressure affect eyesight?
I've often noticed that my distance vision is slightly blurred only during stormy weather. Could this be caused by low air pressure (it seems like pressure would be equalized within and -out the eyeball faster than the barometric pressure outside changes !?) or refractive index of the air?
What equation relates to flow pressure and resistance to define mean arterial pressure?
the equation for mean arterial pressure is MAP=(1/3) PP (pulse pressure) + Diastolic example: if someone's blood pressure is 125/65, then Pulse Pressure is 60 now that you have this info you can calculate MAP (mean arterial pressure) MAP= (1/3) 60 + 65 MAP= 85
Air pressure is due to what?
an air compressor Or gravity if you mean atmospheric pressure.
What is high pressurs?
If you mean by air pressure, High air pressure is how much air there is upon you. IF you were on the death valley, you would have lots of air pressure. If you were on a mountain, there would be little air pressure. If there is high pressure, there is good weather If you mean the other pressure, then it is this. If there is a lot of pressure, then you are intimidated, and there is lots of people looking at you. Visa Versa for low pressure.
If the air pressure in an anticyclone is high then does this mean that the air pressure in a cyclone is low?
Correct
What does an increase in air pressure mean?
Increase in air pressure means the pressure on piece of area increases by the action of sun
What is the air pressure at sea level called?
Sea level pressure, sometimes as mean sea level pressure.
Frogs are positive pressure breathers What does this mean?
instead of sucking in air, they push air out.
What does tire pressure mean in a bicycle?
how much air is in the tire
Why does high pressure mean good pressure?
high pressure makes good weather because the air mass rises
What is the weather term of how heavy the air is?
Air Pressure
What does airpressure mean?
Air Pressure means the measure of the force with which air molecules pushed on a surface.
If the air pressure gets higher does it mean that there are more molecules pressing down?
quite right. Air pressure is the result of millions of air molecules impinging on the surface per unit area. The higher the air pressure, the higher the number of strikes from air molecules.
How does water get into an air pressure tank?
If you mean a well tank, the water is forced in by the pump. The residual air pressure pushes the water out to the faucets.
