Effects of High Pressure on Biological Systems

Part of the book series: Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology ((COMPARATIVE,volume 17))

Abstract

As sea level, atmospheric pressure is 0.1 MPa (1 atm or 1 bar). A diver is exposed to an increase in pressure which is related to the depth of seawater, thus at 10m the absolute pressure equals 0.2 MPa (0.1 of atmospheric pressure and 0.1 for the 10 msw, metre of sea water). At a depth of 400 msw, the absolute pressure will be 4.1 MPa. The relationship between pressure and volume (Boyle-Mariotte’s law) requires that the diver must breathe a gaseous mixture, the pressure of which is equal to the ambient pressure. The quantity of gas dissolved within the body tissues is a function of the partial pressure of each gas making up the mixture (Henry’s law), the partial pressure of each gas being equal to the product of the ambient pressure and the percentage of this gas in the breathing mixture.
