  Triggers that cause blood vessels to enlarge. These release chemicals
that continue the reaction and trigger an immune response in the case of
bubbles which look like invaders to the body. The right side of the
heart also has these receptors to help control volume and presssure. 
  Diving fools the body quite badly at times, so it is a good idea to
have a firm grip on how this device works if you are going to do crazy
things with it. You may also want to be sure this device is in good
working order before you put it in the water.
