named Jacques Cousteau. This invention was great for divers of all kinds because it lets you breathe underwater. So what exactly did it look like? An article called “Dive Technology” explains this‚ “The Aqualung was a metal oxygen tank attached to a breathing tube that controlled the flow of oxygen. It was strapped with a harness to a diver’s back.” The Aqualung was significant to underwater research. With the Aqualung you could go underwater for only minutes at a time‚ but the Jim Suit lets you dive

An essay on the mechanism of breathing and its control The basic mechanisms involved in inspiration and expiration are as follows; 1)Inspiration The contraction of the diaphragm and external intercostals muscles leading to an expansion of the lungs. This expansion means there is an increase in the volume of the thorax and a decrease in intrapulmonary pressure. A pressure gradient is therefore established from the atmosphere to alveoli‚ hence air being suck into the lower pressure in the lungs

Nitrous Oxide (N20) Nitrous Oxide (N20)‚ also known as laughing gas‚ is the only inorganic anesthetic gas in clinical use. Nitrous oxide was first prepared in 1773 by Joseph Priestley‚ an English clergyman and scientist‚ who ranks among the great pioneers of chemistry. Humphry Davy in 1798 performed brilliant investigations of several gases but focused much of his attention on nitrous oxide. Davy commented that nitrous oxide transiently relieved a severe headache‚ obliterated a minor headache

Breathing is a critical component of respiration‚ a process in which life sustaining oxygen is delivered to all the cells in the body and carbon dioxide is removed and released into the air. Breathing difficulties are symptoms of a variety of mild to serious underlying disorders‚ diseases and conditions that interfere with normal respiration and breathing.
