A scuba diver is working on the ocean floor he takes a big breath and swims to the surface what happends to the air in his lungs?
As he rises , the air in his lungs expands due to a decrease in pressure. If not allowed to exit, his lungs will explode.
What part of a diver's body might be hurt during a deep dive and why is this so?
During the deep dive the divers body goes through immense pressure. The atmospheric pressure in the deep as one goes more deep it increases so the lungs of the diver has to do more work and also that if the diver comes up on surface faster ten the rate he went down then the helim would be formed in the lungs of diver which can be lethal.
Why is boyles law important?
when you are a diver the pressure in your lungs builds up. Without boyle's law your lungs could burst.
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.
Is possible for your lungs to explode while taking a gravity bong hit?
No
Why do scuba divers exhale slowly as they ascend to surface?
The First Stage ..( the bit on the tank) of a diving regulator senses the pressure exerted on the regulator ( and also on the body) to see how much it is being squeezed, it then compensates for the pressure by filling your lungs with more air than they could hold on the surface BUT because the lungs are being "squashed" the air fills your lungs like normal. The only potential problem comes when you ascend..because you have too much air in your lungs as it starts to expand, it could overinflate your lungs to the point they literally blow up!
Why do paumotan divers lungs contract when they freedive for pearls?
The pressure under water is stronger than the pressure in air so the paumotan diver's lungs contract when they dive.
How do your lungs keep your body healthy?
poop comes out of your lungs
What are some of the dangers involving helium?
1. it is extremly flammable 2. if inhaled to much your lungs can explode
What happens to the air molecules in a divers lungs as the pressure increases during a dive?
As the diver descends deeper into the water, the pressure increases. This causes the air molecules in the diver's lungs to compress, leading to a decrease in volume. In order to maintain equilibrium with the increasing pressure, the air molecules in the lungs will be forced into smaller spaces, potentially causing discomfort or injury if not managed properly through controlled breathing techniques.
What is blood before it goes to the lungs?
Blood goes to the lungs oxygen poor and comes out of the lungs oxygen rich.
What occurs when the air pressure in the lungs is higher than in the atmosphere?
The air comes out of the lungs.
