Does a Coelacanth have a Buoyancy System?
Yes it does have a buoyancy system.
The coelacanth (Latimeria spp.) is completely oil-filled (it has no air sinuses at all) and the swim bladder is filled with a fatty lipid. The oil is slightly positively buoyant and this counteracts the weight of the fish. These two factors enable the fish to rise and descend through a considerable depth range without suffering any adverse effects.
How long can a human live without air?
That depends on a lot of things. If the person is simply cut of from air as in under water or being strangled they may take several minutes to pass out and several more to die. With a full breath they could last for 5-10 minutes. Without one less.
If they are breathing in a low oxygen environment, such as when another gas is present, then the oxygen at some point moves from the blood to the lungs. In that cas they will pass out within 1 minute and die within another minute or two.
Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide into and out of the blood occurs in the?
Little sacs called alvioli-- in the lungs.

What is a pharynx and what animals have one?
The pharynx is a muscular tube that connects the nasal cavity and mouth to the esophagus and larynx, serving as a passageway for both air and food. It is found in many animals, including humans, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The pharynx plays a crucial role in respiration and digestion, as it helps direct air to the lungs and food to the stomach. In some species, it also serves additional functions, such as vocalization.
What will happen to human when there is no more air left to be breathe in?
As we all know, humans can't breathe without air. If something weird thing were to happen where there was no air left, if God didn't save us in some way, we'd die. I know....some people might not believe in God. Well, pay no attention to that part if you don't. But listen, we need air. Save the environment and don't cut down trees.
