Henry’s Law: Dissolved Gases and Pressure

Visualise how pressure changes alter dissolved gas in blood and tissues.

Dissolved Gas ∝ Partial Pressure × Solubility

Interact

Clinical link

Clinically, this relates to hyperbaric oxygen therapy and diving physiology. Higher pressure increases dissolved gas; rapid decompression can allow bubbles to form.
