Does the human body have to decompress after surfacing in a submarine?

No - Submarine crews live and work within the inner pressure hull, which is pressurized. The outer hull/superstructure of most submarines are mad of flexible steel, which contracts and expands with the changing depths as the bot travels.
Decompression is only necessary for divers who have been exposed to sea pressure, which compresses the nitrogen in the bloodstream . Coming to shallower depths without decompressing properly (it depends on the depth and time at depth, as well as the gas being used for diving) can lead to the compressed nitrogen in the blood to be released too quickly, resulting in the Bends, a painful, crippling, and often deadly result of improper decompression.
The most common example of a gas being released in a liquid after being compressed into it are sodas - when you open the top of the can or bottle, the compressed CO2 is rapidly released as a gas back into the liquid.

What would the effects on the human body be if it was subjected to a vacuum such as interstellar space?
A human would die quickly but painfully. The body would decompress. Body fluids would boil. The eyes would explode. The thoracic cavity would expand rapidly and explode. Veins, arteries, heart, and lungs would quickly expand and explode.
What is denser water or the human body?
i guessing-the human body
Astrownauts grow taller in space?
yes. their is less gravity so the bones in your body, mainly the spine, spread out and they decompress back to their original height when they return to earth
If you have a human body and human testicles and human organs are you human?
Yes - if you have a human body you are human.
What is human body anatomy?
the human body anatomy is, the study of the morphology of the human body.
Why do they have to be in a special submarine to explore the ocean floor and not swim down in scuba gear?
because the deeper you go the greater the pressure.and the human body cannot withsatnd the immense crushing force of tons per square inch.

How many bones in the human body How many muscles in the human body?

Why do submariners not get decompression sickness when they surface?
Because the pressure inside a submarine is the same as at the surface. In otherwords, they never experience any pressure increase on their body since the submarine is protecting them.
Where is the DNA in the human body?
DNA in the human body is located in the nucleus of each and every cell in the human body.
