The deep sea is the best known high pressure environment, where pressures reach a thousand times greater than those at the surface, yet it is populated by a variety of animals and microorganisms. The earth’s crust supports microorganisms which live in water filled pores at high pressure. In addition, the load bearing joints of animals like ourselves experience pulses of hydrostatic pressure of a magnitude similar to the pressure at mid ocean depths..These pressures affect molecular structures and biochemical reactions. Basic cellular processes are drastically affected – the growth and division of cells, the way nerves conduct impulses and the chemical reactions which provide energy. Adaptation to high pressure also occurs in complex physiological systems such as those which provide buoyancy. Probably the greatest challenge to our understanding of adaptation to high pressure is the stabilisation of the nervous system of deep sea animals to avoid convulsions which pressure causes in shallow water ani | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | high pressure environment; cell under high pressure; organisms under high pressure; moleculs at high pr | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-67587-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-67589-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-67587-5 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 |
