Nitrogen dissolved in the blood stream while diving is returning to a gaseous state.

The bends, or decompression sickness, results from nitrogen bubbles forming in the bloodstream and tissues when a diver ascends too quickly after being at depth. This condition can cause joint pain, dizziness, fatigue, and potentially more serious neurological symptoms. Treatment involves re-pressurization in a hyperbaric chamber to eliminate the nitrogen bubbles from the body.

What condition results from an insuffitient amount of tissue fluids?
dehydration
What part of the mantle is made of soft rock that bends like plastic.?
A portion of the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.
What condition is caused by a low level of blood protein and results in accumulation of water in tissues?
Hypoalbuminemia is a condition caused by low levels of blood protein, specifically albumin. This can lead to the accumulation of water in tissues, a condition known as edema. Edema causes swelling and can occur in various parts of the body, such as the legs, ankles, and abdomen.
Is there any lake near river meanders?
A river can create meanders (bends) which can form a separate lake known as an oxbow lake.
What type of fold is created when the crust bends and folds downward?
Syncline is a type of fold that is created when the crust bends and curves downward. It is a fold that is convex up and has its oldest beds at its core.
Condition taht results from injury or disease?
Condition that results from injury or disease is known as a medical condition.
Condition that results from injury or disease?
A common term used to describe this condition is "impairment," which refers to a loss or abnormality in body structure or function. Impairments can result from injuries (e.g., fractures) or diseases (e.g., arthritis) and may lead to limitations in activities and participation. Physical therapy and medical interventions are often used to manage impairments and improve overall function.
The bends are symptomatic of what?
The bends are also known as decompression sickness.
What type of membrane dysfunction results in the condition known as cystic fibrosis?
Cell membrane
What are other names for the bends?
Decompression sickness (DCS) is the medical condition also called divers' disease, the bends, or caisson disease.
What do multiple ectopic sites lead to?
rapid and uncoordinated contractions of the atria or ventricles. This condition is known as fibrillation. When the atrial impulse fails to reach the ventricle, a condition known as heart block results.
Why do you have to take the time to surface during scuba diving?
If you don't the oxygen in the compressed air will come out of solution as the pressure reduces as you surface. If that happens, oxygen bubbles can get into the blood stream, causing a condition known as the bends. Depending on the severity of the bends (which takes into account MANY different conditions), it can range from pain in the joints, to death.
When light passes into a dense material does it bends away from the normal?
No, when light passes into a denser material, it bends toward the normal. This phenomenon is known as refraction.
What causes my second big toe to bend inward?
The most common cause of the second toe bending inward is a condition called hammertoe, which can be due to tight shoes, foot structure, or arthritis. It can also result from an imbalance in the muscles and tendons that control the toe's movement. In some cases, it may be a sign of nerve damage or other underlying conditions.
The bends also known as decompression sickness is as painful condidtion that occurs in scuba divers who asend too quickly.?
If you wanted to know if this is true, then yes, this is the Bends.
What is the condition known as Meigs' syndrome?
One particular tumor of the ovary that leaks fluid and results in fluid accumulation is called Meigs' syndrome.
What is the name associated when a river goes back and forth?
A meandering river is one that flows in a winding, back-and-forth pattern across its floodplain. This results in bends and curves known as meanders.
