Why air bubbles through syringe is fatal for life?

How can you prove that air occupies space?

One easy way to prove that air occupies space is by using a syringe. When you draw air into the syringe and then close the opening, you will notice that the plunger is pushed out slightly, showing that air takes up space. This demonstrates that air, like any other matter, has volume and fills the space it is in.

How would you use a syringe to see if air was compressed?

To test if air is compressed using a syringe, pull the plunger out to create a vacuum inside the syringe. Then, push the plunger in quickly. If the air inside the syringe is compressed, you should feel resistance when trying to push the plunger in. If the air is not compressed, the plunger will move easily.

What will happen if you inject into a vein that has no air in it?

Depends on the size of the air bubble, your body will absorb air that comes into the vein, but if the bubble is too big it cannot be absorbed and if it reaches your heart you will die. There is a practice called 'Packing testosterone'. Body builders who inject testosterone will actually put a small air bubble in the syringe which helps pack the testosterone into the muscle for optimum performance. This however is a very small amount. A little air in the vein is fine. This is something that you should never try alone, heck I wouldn't try it period lol! There are some cases where at the hospital and they put in the IV there is bubbles that will get in the line, this is perfectly fine because your blood absorbs it quickly. A syringe full of air injected into your vein would most likely get pumped to your heart and cause a massive heart attack.
