Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

Examine the respiratory and cardiovascular capabilities.
Identify the physiological distinctions between humans and seals during extended, deep dives without access to oxygen.
Utilize graphing techniques to establish connections between the type of exercise and metabolic and heart rates.
Describe the specific physiological adjustments in the cardio-respiratory system of seals that facilitate deep diving.
Quantify the oxygen utilization rate and determine the cumulative oxygen requirements for dives of different lengths, followed by comparing these findings to the estimated oxygen reserves available in the lungs, blood, and tissues of seals.
