The answer is reflex action. Impulse that triggers a reflex action does not pass through the brain so as to shorten the time for response. It passes through a reflex arch and this is why the muscles are contracted even without time to think of what happened. The sensory and motor neurons only arch at the spinal cord.

The concentration of N2 in blood at 37 °C (body temperature) and atmospheric pressure (partial pressure of N2 = 0.80 atm) is 0.0
devlian [24]

Answer:

volume  = 0.285 L

Explanation:

Henry constant is given as

Henry constant  =  \frac{C}{P}

Where C  is concentration

P is atmospheric pressure

Henry\ constant = \frac{0.00056}{0.80} = 0.0007 M/atm

when atmospheric pressure 4 atm

solubility = K_H\times P

              = 0.0007 \times 4 = 0.0028 M

In 5 litere blood , moles of N_2 = Molarity \times volume

                                                     = 0.0028 \times 5 = 0.014

At surface moles  = 0.0056 \times 5 = 0.0028

Moles of N_2 release = 0.014 - 0.0028 = 0.0112

Mass of N_2 = 0.0112 \times 28 = 0.314 g

T = 37 + 273 = 310 K

VOLUME = \frac{nRT}{P}

= \frac{0.0112\times 0.0821\times 310}{1}

volume  = 0.285 L
