Why is that when we dive under water the water doesn’t automatically fill openings. How come the water pressure doesn’t like push our eyes in if not wearing goggles or rush into your nose completely or even our other hole down there. How come the water pressure doesn’t push the water into that hole ?
I’m sure our body has some inner pressure pushing outward but how is that enough to stop the water ?
In: Biology
when you go under water your entire body is being compressed so the pressure inside the body and outside are basically the same.
the only place where the water would gladly go into would be your lungs which is why we do everything we can to stop that from happening but when you go down and breath from an oxygen bottle even that osygen your are breathing will be under high pressure.
that is also why the decompression when coming back to the surface is such a big problem, as your entire body is being compressed that includes all the gasses that are dissolved in your blood and a sudden release of that pressure can cause these gasses to come out of the blood itself and basically cause bubbles in your blood.
