I guess I wasn't being specific enough and used a bad example (rebreather).	Let
me tell you what I'm doing, answer my question, then go ahead and 
flame away (no, I won't be using this in a cave ;) ).  I'm in the process of
completing a 1 atm submarine that I purchased partially finished.  The closed
system in this case is rigid so the volume stays the same.  Now, as I
metabolize O2, will the pressure decrease, such that I can use a simple demand
type regulator to inject O2 along with a scrubber to remove CO2, and maintain
a constant internal pressure of 14.7 psi?  TIA (again).
