Any inert gas will build up. In other words, any gas other than oxygen. So when diving on air or a nitrogen oxygen combination such as nitrox, then it will be nitrogen. But if you are breathing another type of mixture such as trimix (which also contains helium) then helium will also build up in addition to the nitrogen.

Why deep sea divers wear diving suits?

Deep sea divers wear diving suits to protect themselves from the cold temperatures, high pressure, and potential hazards of the deep sea environment. The suits help to regulate body temperature, provide buoyancy, and offer protection from sharp objects and marine life.


When the air pressure in the lungs is greater than the air pressure outside the body you?

exhale, as the air will flow from an area of higher pressure (lungs) to an area of lower pressure (outside the body). This helps to expel carbon dioxide and regulate the level of oxygen in the body.


How blood pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure?

Blood pressure is the blood flow when the heart is pumping (top number) and when the heart is resting (bottom number). The body is a closed system and requires enough blood pressure to pump the blood throughout the body. A typically healthy blood pressure would be 120mmHg/70mmHg. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the atmosphere at a specific location and altitude. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg. So actually, atmospheric pressure is much greater than blood pressure. Most people never have to worry about atmospheric pressure affecting blood pressure. However, deep sea divers experience an increase in blood pressure while diving, and astronauts experience a decrease in blood pressure when in space.


Is greater pressure exerted inside the whale's body or outside the blowhole?

Greater pressure is exerted inside the whale's body, as the lungs compress and force air out through the blowhole. When the whale surfaces to exhale, the pressure inside its body is released through the blowhole, creating the characteristic spout of mist or water vapor.


How do pearl divers adapt their bodies to the ocean?

By wearing a divers suit that helps keep acontrolon their body temperature. Also byadaptingto high pressure. Holding their breath for a long time will also allow your lungs to expand and hold for a longeramountof time.


When swimming under water pressure becomes greater?

Yes, as you swim deeper underwater, the pressure increases due to the weight of the water above you. This increase in pressure can affect your body, especially your ears and sinuses, and may require equalizing techniques to prevent discomfort or injury.


Can scuba divers pass gas at 33 feet below?

Yes, they can pass gas at 33 feet below. why not? No problem as long as the pressure released is greater than the pressure around you... Been there done that ...but make sure no snorkeller is catching the bubble with a funnel to stay down with you..hehehe


What happen to the body when the air pressure gets higher?

The human body can withstand very high air pressure, since it is not very compressible. The main consequence of higher air pressure is that greater quantities of nitrogen dissolve in the blood. If a person under high air pressure is then exposed too quickly to lower air pressure, the nitrogen in the blood can form bubbles (much like the carbon dioxide bubbles in a fizzy beverage) and this causes a very painful and dangerous condition called the bends. To avoid this, people need to decompress slowly, and deep sea divers use a decompression chamber.


What happends if your in zero gravity?

You explode. Because the pressure inside the body is much greater than outside the body, the body expands until it explodes outwards.
