Sukellusrefleksi

Sukellusrefleksi, also known as the diving reflex, is a physiological response that occurs when a person is submerged in water. It is a protective mechanism that helps to prevent drowning by triggering a series of actions that facilitate breathing and prevent the person from inhaling water. The reflex is initiated by the stimulation of receptors in the nose and mouth, which detect the presence of water. This stimulation triggers the brain to send signals to the muscles involved in breathing, causing the person to take a deep breath and hold it until they are out of the water. The diving reflex is an important survival mechanism, but it can also be dangerous if the person is not aware of it or if they are unable to swim. In such cases, the person may panic and drown. It is important for swimmers to be aware of the diving reflex and to practice swimming techniques that can help them to overcome it if necessary.
