This is the study on the behaviors of different gases and fluids and its effects when influenced with an increase in pressure. The variations of pressure affect the normal functioning of the body, resulting to negative and positive impacts. An increase on body oxygenation and carbon dioxide level results to oxygen poisoning disease and caisson diseases.

Pressure

This is the processes of pressing that result into a body compression due to external force applied. In physics, force applied to anybody is uniform, and it causes a state of deformation or movement to a body responsible. Pressure applied in relates with height and the amount applied, measured as a force per unit area. The equation relating force and area that is a result of pressure is as shown below (Galan, 2010).

Pressure (P) =Force (F)/Area (A) or P= dFn/dA

Pressures acts normal to the surface of any element, hence regarded as a scalar quantity. Pressure is a scalar quantity with no direction since each quantity relates to the quantity of pressure delivered. Pressure remains constant as the direction of the force applied to an element changes. Pressure travels both in liquid, gases and fluid hence its SI units are Pascal. It is useful when measuring volume in thermodynamics parameters hence it has a wide range of measuring the energy stored like atmospheric pressure. We measure body pressure using mercury.
