If our body needs oxygen in the air to live. then what the 77% of nitrogen do to our body?

1.23K views

as I was told from early education that the air we currently breathe in contains 21% oxygen and 77-ish% of nitrogen and the rest are other particles.

So I have a dumb question on what the body uses nitrogen we breathe in for?

Nothing under normal Air Pressure.

Nitrogen did very hardly react with anything.

fun fact

If you dive with the normal pressured air going deeper than 40 Meters sometimes the nitrogen did funny things and you get a kind of drunk.

Is with any narcotics it is unknown how that happens.
