If done slowly, quite well. Venous gas pressure is sub-atmospheric so that excess gasses can be removed, arterial blood gas pressure is at ambient pressure and is excellent at distributing any increase in pressure.

However ... there are limits. Drop to fast and you get ear aches or even the bends,

(and low enough and you get hypoxia or boiling blood).

Too high and the toxic properties of oxygen become apparent AND the anesthetic properties on nitrogen starts ("rapture of the deep").

Because the pressure not just on one place it is all round (and inside) your body. It therefore cancels itself out. You only feel a pressure if one part of your body is at a different pressure to another part of your body.

In what way could you compare your whole body to a single cell?

in a cell different cell organelles do different functions(e.g. mitochondria-respiration) in the same way our body has different organs or different organ systems to do different functions(heart-respiration;digestive system-complete digestion and excretion of food)


What is the purpose of the spacesuit?

space suit is provided to astronauts to prevent astronaut's body from blasting due to unbalanced atmospheric pressure.the atmospheric pressure inside the space suit is set according to the atmosphere of space.while the space flight is launched the flight goes to space crossing many layers of earth atmosphere with a great speed,at this time the astronauts have to cross many layers of different densities and atmospheric pressure,at this crucial time the space suit plays an important role by saving the astronauts body


What is the best method of fingering?

There are many methods of fingering... I would say the best would be:1. To enjoy what you are doing2. Watch your partner's reactions to different techniques and pressures you try(communication can be difficult when excited, but body language is generally hard to fake or lie).3. Research body anatomy (the Internet is filled with educational websites)4. Tantric sex teaches many different ways of leaving your partner in almost meditative states5. Remember that the human body has many erogenous zones(sensitive areas) (not only vulva, breasts, penis or anus)6. Make sure your partner is extremely turned on before you finally touch their genitals. (tease, around but not quite touching)7. circles are magical things!Explore and Enjoy

Why are you not crushed by atmosperic pressure?

Because your structure has evolved in order to withstand atmospheric pressure. A creature that could not survive atmospheric pressures would not be able to survive, and therefore would not be able to produce offspring. All of the body's tissues contain dissolved air (nitrogen & oxygen) at pressure equilibrium with the atmosphere. In effect the body "pushes back" against atmospheric pressure, just as ocean creatures withstand crushing water pressure by mostly consisting of water.

What is the pressure of air outside of the body?

Atmospheric air pressure is about 100kPa but there is no net pressure on your skin because pressures inside and outside your body are equal In more common terminology, average ambient air pressure at sea level is 14.7lbs per square inch.

How have different birds adapted to different environments?

Well, their body allows them to adapt. They can also mimicry adaption, which is when they change their physical appearance such as a hawk moth. It's a type of butterfly, but it can mimicry adapt and look like a tattered leaf or look like its just a part of a tree.
