you are put in a room where the air pressure is very low what effect will this have on your body
Answers
Your body is designed to cope with the Earth’s atmospheric pressure, but what happens at extremes of low or high pressure? If you were ever unfortunate enough to find yourself in a vacuum, you’d quickly notice that you were starting to bloat as the small pockets of air trapped inside your body, free from the pressing constraints of atmospheric pressure, expand. Then your ear drums would rupture. And since gases escape from liquids much more easily at lower pressures, the liquids in your body would start to boil. Imagine experiencing the saliva on your tongue coming to the boil. There is some good news though – you wouldn’t actually explode as your skin is far too elastic to rupture and in any case, you’d pass out from lack of oxygen before you got to see your blood boiling.
