Question

Which of the following problem does the frequent deep sea diver organism like whales may face?

• A. compression of tissue surrounding air filled cavities.
• B. High blood nitrogen levels
• C. Lack of oxygen
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Diving to depth can result in mechanical distortion and tissue compression, especially in gas-filled spaces of the body. Absorption of nitrogen into blood can cause high blood nitrogen levels which can exert amniotic effect. Lungs of the deep-diver cannot serve as a source of oxygen during the dive.
