Gentlemen,  

    On this counterdiffusion issue;  You cannot inflate a bubble against 
surface tension by passive diffusion alone - the energy required is simply 
not there.    The phenomenon of bubble formation attributed to 
counterdiffusion as a result of switching gasses under isobaric conditions is 
probably a case of changing the solubility of one or more gasses in a local 
area of tissue as a result of local temperature changes (skin) or the 
introduction of other solutes (as in salting out).
