← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when swim bladder pressure exceeds external water pressure constraints during rapid ascent?
A)Nitrogen narcosis impairs brain function
B)Oxygen toxicity damages cellular respiration
C)Barotrauma ruptures bladder tissue✓
D)Carbon dioxide poisoning affects pH
💡 Explanation
When swim bladder pressure exceeds external water pressure during rapid ascent, Boyle's Law causes volume expansion, leading to tissue overstretch and rupture, causing barotrauma. With this effect, bladder rupture occurs, rather than narcosis which relates to dissolved nitrogen at depth, toxicity affecting cellular activity, or imbalances related to CO2 accumulation.
