Why doesn’t human lungs function under water?
In: Biology
Not enough dissolved oxygen. Also, our muscles can’t move water for long periods of time.
There’s a liquid you can breathe (perflourocarbons I think), you can find video of rats breathing it for a short amount of time and you can see they are really working hard (they showed this in the movie The Abyss in relation to experimental diving gear, you can find the clip)
