You and your physiology instructor are trapped in an overtuned ship. To escape, you must swim under water a long distance. You tell your instructor it would be a good idea to hyperventilate before making the escape attempt. Your instructor calmly replies, "what good would that do, since your pulmonary capillaries are already 100% saturated with oxygen?" What would you do and why?
