If humans have gills can humans live underwater?
Actually, at no point do humans EVER have "gills," or even "gill slits." This common misconception was started in the early years of medicine. There are visible creases on the fetal neck that were originally thought to be remnants of past evolutionary stages. It is now known and commonly accepted that these creases are due to the formation of lymph nodes and lose visibility as the fetus matures.
What are the pros and cons of humans living underwater?
There are few reasons humans cannot live underwater.The main reason, of course, would be that humans lack gills. The gills in fish and other underwater organisms allow the oxygen in the water to be used inside the body. Oxygen is very fundamental to our body; for it keeps us and our cells alive and functioning.Another reason is that in salt water (the ocean), if we did have gills and consumed the water, our cells will lose all of their water because they of the hypertonic environment and they will shrivel up.we can't live under water because our lungs don't take in water they take in air, if we don't have air in our lungs then we could not function right!Were not fish LOL :)
