If Anakin had the oxygen mask put on, wouldnt he die from the burning to the Vader birth if his lungs gone?

I'm not quite sure I understand the question, but go to supershadow.com and there find the answers, will you.

None that we know of. On earth, there is the right mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and other gases that is conductive to our breathing. Mars has different gas mixture which makes our lungs unable to work properly.

Since the air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, that would be a bad thing. We'd probably all be dead.\n\nIf there never was any, perhaps we would have evolved to breathe something other than what we know as air.

I don't really know!  I hope not!  Well, you can blow a condom up, and if it had pores, wouldn't the air escape?

Linmar--i want to propose MY personal theory, which cannot be scientifically proven in any publication to date.  I had a vision one evening after watching a show about spontaneous combustion victims.  One victim was a middle-aged man with a stump for an arm.  He described the event as a mild tingling with no pain, and much to his dismay, his hand and most of his forearm turned to ash.  \n\nUsing his experience, this isn't about fat burning, or too much oxygen, or even about oxidation as we know it.  The material in our bodies has stored chemical potential energy.  We have internal heat generation which keeps our bodies warm.  It is like a clock spring slowly unwinding.\n\nNOW, if you sped up this clock, relative to normal time-space, your energy would dissipate so rapidly, that the object WOULD turn to ash due to the release of heat.  If a human arm dissipates 10 watts every second for the lifetime of the arm, say 70 years, that equals 22*10^9 joules.  THAT"S A LOT OF ENERGY.  Now for instance, if for some reason a time-space continuum intersected with the man, if his arm actually was accidentally inserted into another dimension whose time constant was 100 times our speed, his arm simply aged and died.  All the energy that would have unwound in this time space over the course of 70 years, unwound in minutes or seconds.  If there are time-space defects and other dimensions, it makes sense that entropy may not unwind at the same pace in all spaces.  \n\nIt reminds me that the earth is travelling at thousands of miles per hour through space.  We have no perception of this at all.  But put a cosmic bed post by the earth, and have an impact, BAM!! Bye-bye earth.  I think it is the same thing.  For some unlucky reason, I beleive this particular man had an interdimensional event wherein the potential energy in his arm dissipated very quickly in that other dimension.  \n\nFood for thought--tell me whatchya think.

First, the oxygen in a hospital is mixed with normal air, so you end up not breathing 100% oxygen all the time. Yes, the supply lines to the patient's rooms contain 100% oxygen, but by adjusting the flow rate to the mask or nasal cannula the patient breathes less than 100% O2.\n\nSecond, 100% oxygen really isn't that toxic. If you breath it for a week you may have problems, but for short periods it's not an issue at all. \n\nFurther, at reduced pressure you can safely breath 100% O2 for long periods. The atmosphere inside a space suit is 100% oxygen at about 1/4 of an atmosphere. This minimzes the pressure differential across the space suit yet still provides enough O2 for the astronuat without any significant side effects.

We have tiny little air sacs that make up our lung tissue. They're called "alveoli" (each one is an "alveolus"). In order to work properly, they need to maintain elasticity. It's also important that the walls of the sacs maintain their structural integrity. Cigarette smoke, air pollution, and some genetic conditions will cause the walls of the alveoli to harden or to lose their elasticity and for the individual sacs to collapse. If that happens, the surface area where oxygen can enter the bloodstream through the alveoli decreases. \n\nThis isn't a perfect analogy, but think about it this way: if you're trying to blow up a balloon, but you pinch the opening too tightly, you won't be able to get air into the balloon (your bloodstream). What you're doing there is decreasing the "surface area" of the hole. At a certain point, you won't be able to get any air in the balloon at all - or at least not enough to beat the resistance of the tension of the inner walls of the balloon. \n\nWith emphysema, as the disease progresses the person can't get enough oxygen through the walls of the alveoli and into the bloodstream to sustain life, and eventually asphyxiates. Even with increasingly pure doses of inhaled oxygen, the lungs lose their capacity to oxygenate the blood.\n\nAlthough emphysema isn't curable, lung transplantation offers some hope. Also, its progress can often be arrested by quitting smoking, reducing pollutants in one's environment, and by use of some steroids (some of which have very severe side-effects, though).

No its really dangerous. at high altitude oxygen pressure is low hence body has to extract more oxygen from air and also heart has to work more to increase blood supply to organ so that sufficient oxygen reaches them. in already failing heart it cannot take up this extra load and may worsen patient condition. i would advice not to travel by air and if really very essential than to have supplemental oxygen by face mask oxygen while traveling. medical examination just before boarding is must

Damn, that is good question.  Yoda would have to take Hulk down fast.  Age is a major factor, even though Yoda is strong with the Force he is old.  Did you notice how winded he was after fighting with Dooku in Episode II.  This not a problem for the Hulk as his stamina will never go down.  He will only get stronger as the battle goes on.  Yoda would have attack his mind as it is the only the Hulk cannot defend.  Yoda would have to use a calming trick or try to shut the Hulk's mind down completely.  I totally sound like a nerd.  The sad thing is that I was typing this as I was thinking it.

if she's having oxygen at 3 when her prescription is just 2 L/min then you should be concerned. carbon dioxide is the main reason why people breath since the brain signals the respiratory organs that theres CO2 in the body, upon breathing the CO2 is expelled. in you sister's case, the brain would think that she doesnt need to vbreath since she has enough oxy due to the apparatus until such time that the brain will forget to send a signal to the respi organs and she will also forget to breath, literally.

the cell would not be able to grow or repair it self...the cell would most likely die.

Just like how they say on an airplane: "apply the oxygen mask first to yourself and then to your child"... I believe we should make sure we are strong and healthy before trying to strengthen the rest of the world.  There is a strong point that strengthening the rest of the world will help us, too, but if we begin falling apart we won't be able to help ANYONE.

I guess it would explode because of the difference in pressure... but then again this is with a live human... not sure about the dead one.\n\nThis site might be of help:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_adaptation_to_space

Good point.  But what if when he transformed into the Hulk his body absorbed massive amount of C02, and then complex it into something denser to allow for the increase in mass.  And then when he was done, it would rapidly metabolize it and release it again.

explain 2 her about lungs are going turn black and die

DUE TO CONSTICTION OF BRONCHIOLES,LESS OXYGEN IS SUPPLIED TO BODY\nBUT IT NEEDS MORE SUPPLY SO IT MIGHT LEAD TO BRONCHSPASM

When the person speaks, the helium in his lungs go into his mouth and out of his mouth and into the immediate space in front of it.\n\nWhen you hear his voice, it will have gone through a substantial amount of helium before going through air :)
