can you breath in water without any special material?

Question

i tried i and i nearly drowned. whoever calls me an idiot i shall report!

Answer 1

Are you kidding? Seriously. You have to know better. Drowning by trying to breath water is the very definition of the word drowning. Seriously, if you want to live, don't do something so stupid. Go ahead and report me. But, you WILL die if you keep up this stupidity.

How old are you? Did someone fool you into believe that? You need to use your own mind and reasoning before believing anything some tells you.

Answer 2

Of course, unlike the gills of a fish, our lungs are not designed to extract oxygen from water. In any case, we require too much oxygen - the amount that is dissolved in water, even water saturated with oxygen, would be unsufficient.

However, many animals do manage it. Water spiders take a bubble of air down with them and, I understand, sufficient oxygen transfer takes place across the bubble interface to allow them to survive. Other creatures have similar, natural solutions.

I have been told that, with the right kind of plastic, you could put a small creature like a hamster in a bag and again it would survive. However, I am sceptical about this and would certainly not try it!

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Well usualy you can not breath while under water, due to the water eould enter your lungs and cause suffication.

But if there are steps to get out of the pool, then usually there are air bubbles on it that you can see, and you can breath from those ( but only for a certain amount of time)

Frankly I suggest you not try to do this, but just come up to the surface for air. Good Luck

Answer 4

No Human can breath in water. Water will enter your lungs causing you to sufficate. Kind of like trying to breath while drinking from a glass at the same moment. Can't be done.

Answer 5

Actually, Yes, it is possible, some scientists have done it with a rat I believe, but I can't remember where I read it, but it is not refined for humans yet , they did something like enriching the oxygen levels in the water so it is only possible in a confined space.

Answer 6

Are you serious?
You know that you drown because you inhale water right?
Why do people hold their breaths under water if they could just breathe then?

Answer 7

I'm sure i read somewhere that deep sea divers breath a special luqid air. but we humans can't breath in normal water even if we could water can't hold enought oxygen to keep us alive.

Answer 8

it is impossible if u can breathe under water with out a equipment cuz u will only get water in ur nose not oxygen

Answer 9

I dont really care if you report me. Your either making a joke here or your an American. Cause only a yank would ask such a dumb assed question.

Answer 10

lol! Unless you have gills or a blowhole, no. Honestly though, asking a daft question like that and then expecting people not call you stup... Oh, I give up!
