Why Don't Marine Animals Get "The Bends"?

"The bends" is one of the biggest risks that humans have to deal with when diving, but why don't marine animals, which are diving all the time, get them?

    Prowler Cam Nitrogen narcosis is completely different from the bends. Nitrogen narcosis is what happens while you are breathing nitrogen at too great of a depth and it makes you feel drugged and you can't think properly. It's dangerous because of the disorientation, but goes away when you get into shallow water. The bends is when gasses that are dissolved in your bloodstream because of the pressure turn back into gas in your bloodstream when you surface.

    I haven't watched one word of this video yet, but I'm willing to hazard a guess... They do not get the bends (small bubbles forming in the blood and tissue during decompression) because they don't saturate their blood by breathing while under pressure. Two things affect the solubility of gases in liquids: temperature and pressure. When humans use scuba to breathe underwater, they absorb more oxygen and nitrogen into the bloodstream than when at the surface. This can also happen in a hyperbaric chamber or similar environment where atmospheric pressure is greatly increased. Oxygen is readily metabolized, but nitrogen takes time to return to normal levels as pressure decreases. Too rapid a decrease causes the bends. A human who dives deep while holding their breath cannot get the bends. No animal who dives deep can get the bends either. A very cruel way to test whether a marine mammal could possibly get the bends would be to put them in a pool inside a huge hyperbaric chamber and keep them under significant pressure while they breathe. Then rapidly depressurize the chamber. I hope nobody tries this. Now to watch and see how well I did.

    @@rei_cirith geese can fly super high too, the ones from around the himalayas have been seen flying way above the peaks there too. There's lot of animals that survive at altitudes high enough to cause issues but they've evolved the ability to more efficiently intake/use oxygen. Usually along the lines of bigger lungs or deeper breathing patterns, more capillaries in things like their lungs and heart, and even blood cell mutations that cause them to have a greater ability to absorb oxygen. Similar effects can be seen in the populations of humans from higher altitudes as well. For example the Sherpa people have evolved for this extreme life over many generations as well.

    I would have explained the bends a little differently. Flowing blood delivers oxygen and glucose to tissues, and carries lactic acid and other metabolic products away. When atmospheric pressure falls as the diver ascends, dissolved nitrogen literally boils out of solution, to form tiny gas bubbles, everywhere. Most of these are innocent, but when tiny bubbles in the arterial system move with the flow of blood to tissues, they pass through smaller and smaller vessels. Those gas bubbles eventually reach tiny vessels that won't permit the bubble to move beyond. There, the gas bubble may occlude the vessel so that blood delivery to distal tissue is reduced. If that vessel is the only vessel supplying oxygen to a volume of tissue, cells in the area are damaged from lack of oxygen. Depending on where these bubbles end up, the victim may experience painful muscles and joints, stroke symptoms from occlusion in brain, and ischemic events in heart, kidney, peripheral nerves and various other tissues. The nitrogen itself is only poorly soluble in blood so it lingers for long enough to cause ischemic damage in tissue beyond. The damage is largely secondary to poor flow, with secondary anoxic damage, not a direct effect of nitrogen.... By evolving to have lungs and ribcage that will collapse with high pressure, marine mammals have a reduced tendency for nitrogen gas to dissolve in adjacent blood during descent, so they don't have as much dissolved nitrogen to boil out of solution later.

    And I always thought it was because of Henry's law saying something like the amount of gas absorbed in a liquid is proportional to the pressure of the gas. Divers get the bends because their air regulators reduce the 200/300 bar tank pressure to ambient(!) pressure. So on the surface to 1 Bar , at 10m depth to 2 Bar, at 40m to 5 bar etc. At surface the pressures in the air the divers breath is 1 bar (0,79bar Nitrogen and 0,21bar Oxygen) At 40m a diver breath air of 5 bar= 5x the pressure at the surface. This causes partial pressures of Nitrogen of 0,79x5= 3.95Bar and Oxygen of 0,21x5=1.05 bar. Sofar no problem ....Our bodies can cope with that. - However when diver ascents the ambient pressure reduces to again to 1 bar ... The high partial pressures in the divers body also want to reduce back to 0.79 an 0.21 bar.....as fast as the ambient pressure drops. Fast ascents causes the excessive pressures to "boil off"... killing the unfortunate diver. That is why divers will ascent very slowly. They want to give their bodies the chance to release the excessive pressure very slowly and without creating any bubbles. - So why do whales and seals do not have this problem....? Simple, they breath air in on the surface (=1 bar) and then dive without breathing again. So the partial pressures in their bodies stay at 0,79 and 0,21 bar. When they ascent (fast) the partial pressure is still lower or the same as ambient pressures... so nothing needs to "boil off." The same is true for "free-divers"(Apneu divers). They can also ascent as fast as they want..... as long as they did not grab some (high pressure) air from a friendly diver below.... What you explained was not "Why do marine animals do not get the bends" but "how do marine animals cope with the huge pressure that squeezes their body cavities (like chest cavity/lungs) to much smaller sizes.

    Not all marine mammals take a breath before diving, some (like some seals) exhale instead. Also, as noted, even free divers get the bends because there's still air in their lungs when they dive down so oxygen and nitrogen are still moving into the blood stream and tissues (although at much lower levels). After several, consecutive dives, enough nitrogen could build up in the tissues to get the bends even if you're just starting off with a single breath at the surface.

These acsent speeds will kill you on the spot if your partial pressures in your blood are higher than the ambient pressures at the surface.

    The same reason that free divers don't. Human beings can descend very deep and rapidly resurface without getting the bends if they do so on a lungful of air. The bends is caused by breathing compressed gasses while the body is under compression. When you're not breathing, and going off a single lungfull of air, the gasses in your chest cavity compress just like the gasses dissolved in your blood. IE everything is equal. Versus breathing pressurized gas continuously which causes a higher amount of gas to dissolve in the blood, and then come out of solution when the pressure is removed. The catch there is that this assumes the time spent at depth is not greater than the time spent near the surface. Free divers and cetaceans aren't spending hours at depth then suddenly swimming back up.

  • @woodfur00

According to the EDA, in comparison to ''normal'' Scuba tanks (~21% oxygen and ~79%) Nitrox (generally) has an oxygen percentage between 22 and 40%. ''Enriched Air Nitrox allows longer no-decompression limits (although it restricts maximum diving depth due to oxygen toxicity) by reducing the amount of nitrogen your body absorbs, thereby reducing the relative risk of decompression sickness vs comparable dives using scuba tanks filled with air.'' www.elitedivingagency.com/articles/scuba-tank-gas-mixture-divers-use/

    Well, we DO kinda use special lungs to deal with depth, if you count the air supply of an atmospheric pressure diving suit.

Thank you. @Ian G mrvanarsdale.com/marine-science/online-textbook/chapter-4-marine-mammal-adaptations-for-diving/ Basically same ways how they deal with bend: By dumping all pesky gases when go diving and store oxygen directly in their blood and muscles. I also suspect higher body fat than usual also meant most narcotic gases also more likely to stay in their fatty tissues rather than going into CNS. (This one conjecture, though, so please correct me if I'm wrong).
