If you are exposed to the vacuum of space, what would happen to your body?



Answers:
Any gas in your body would rupture the cavity they occupy. Any disolved gas in your blood e.g. nitrogen, would bubble out, as the boiling point drops due to the pressure drop on exposure to vacuum.

In atmospheric pressure the body sees very little differential pressure across it's blood vessels. Your blood pressure is read under atmospheric pressure. In a vacuum your blood pressure would immediately increase by around 15 psi (roughly 1 bar) and would rupture any artery or vein containing it. In other words you wouldn't explode but you would die pretty much instantly, not like that Arnold Schwazanegger film where his eyes bulged out but he survived.
You would humanly combust I guess
All the cavities in your body containing air would explode - ears, sinuses, stomach, lungs etc

And all the gas dissolved in tissue would bubble out, in particular your blood would froth as if it were boiling.
basically with the vacuum of space your body would try to occupy as much as possible. and seeing as space is quite big you would occupy alot of space.
basically you explode with all ferocity
Would it explode? or implode?
It will be covered in dust.
your body would explode due to the loss of atmosphere
its, simple. Firstly urun out of oxygen, then you begin to swell and be as big as a baloon and u float about space. if by chance u get close to the earth stratosphere, you begin to fall like an astoroid in the sky, but since your body is not as strong as the asteroid, you scatter like an egg shell thrown into the ground with force.
well, you won't explode in thousand pieces. but something would happen, your eyes would get out your face and bleeding occurs throught them, as well as from ears, nose, etc. Anyway, it's really cold outta there, so you would get frozen in a few seconds.
Your blood would boil, and you will die an excruciatingly painful death
well inside pressure is very greater than outside pressure therefore the human would burst like a baloon.
It would explode, not a pretty sight. Blood and guts expanding towards infinity (eventually).
you would freeze your body, because it is very, very cold up
there. in less your directly in the sunlight.

then you would start to "out gass".
You would implode, you would explode under water, the vacuum of space would be the exact opposite. You would most likely instantly freeze before anything happened at all! Not something I want to try.
Apparently nothing, according to last week's new epidsode of "Stargate SG-1"--a guy was floating around waving his arms around looking angry. Apparently nothing, according to "The Empire Strikes Back"--Han & Chewie running around inside the asteroid monster wearing only little oxygen masks. However, according to "Outland" (1981), you would swell up like a bloated frog on a hot day and scream in pain right before you exploded and splattered all over everything around.
Implode, but I don't advise trying it !
Space is not a vacuum. A vacuum has absolutely nothing in it. Space is a low pressure system that has some characteristics of a vacuum but not as much power.

The unprotected flesh and liquids of a human body would expand into many pieces leaving the individual bones of the skeleton mostly intact.
Nature abhores a vacuum so it would try to spread your body evenly across space.

Your Eyeballs would burst, every organ would explode, your tounge would swell up and burst, every artery would bleed.

At the same tome your body would freeze to close to absoloute zero.

Basically, you'd die!
