Is it true that Diving mammals can avoid decompression sickness, nitrogen narcosis, and pulmonary squeeze by blocking alveolar gas exchange through the emptying of alveoli at depth?
Yes. Diving mammals avoid conditions like decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis primarily because hydrostatic pressure causes their compliant lungs and alveoli to collapse at depth, blocking alveolar gas exchange.
