Why are you not crushed under atmospheric pressure?
The fluids in your body exert pressure and prevent the atmospheric pressure from closing in. Fluids exert pressure on a container the particles collide with each other and the sides of the container.
Why are you not crushed by atmosperic pressure?
Because your structure has evolved in order to withstand atmospheric pressure. A creature that could not survive atmospheric pressures would not be able to survive, and therefore would not be able to produce offspring. All of the body's tissues contain dissolved air (nitrogen & oxygen) at pressure equilibrium with the atmosphere. In effect the body "pushes back" against atmospheric pressure, just as ocean creatures withstand crushing water pressure by mostly consisting of water.
What effect does atmospheric pressure affected have on your body?
the atmospheric pressure has no effect on our bodies in normal conditions this is because our blood is pressurised thereby equalising the force from both directions. this is why astronauts have pressurised space suits to prevent their bodies from bursting in space where the pressure is not being exerted on them.
Why do you not feel weight of air pressing on you?
We do not normally feel the large atmospheric pressure because the pressure inside our bodies is almost the same as the external pressure and so it is balanced.
What effects does low pressure have on the human body?
Low pressure has potentially harmful symptoms on the body. Some of these are dizziness, fainting, lack of alertness, blurred vision, pale skin, short breaths, and fatigue.
What is the best atmospheric pressure for human body?

We human beings are surrounded by air so why don't we get smashed because of atmospheric pressure?
Pressure differentials are a cause of structural movement. Since the human body's internal pressure is basically that of atmospheric pressure, the human body experiences no change in structure. When the human body is exposed to vacuum pressure such as in space, the human bodies pressure would exert a force greater than that of the vacuum resulting in the human body to expand...(and explode ). When submerged beneath the ocean at great depths, the human body's internal pressure would not be enough to "push" against the force of the water and would implode...
Can mean effective pressure less than atmospheric pressure?
no Because any body subject is affected by the atmospheric pressure in the case of its occurrence under the pressure of what it means that the pressure for increased atmospheric pressure.
What substance present in your body balances the atmospheric pressure actin on us?
what substance present in your body balances the atmospheric pressure action on us
What effect does atmospheric pressure have on your body?
Absolutely nothing
How much air is pressing on the human body?
The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch (14.7 psi)
How is it possible you have not burst out of your skin?
Atmospheric pressure equalises the blood pressure in our body.
Why does your head not get crushed with atmospheric pressure?
Like the air inside a baloon, the fluids inside your body exert pressure. This pressure inside your body acts against atmospheric pressure. I was looking for the answer for a school assignment! Textbooks help!
Why do you not notice atmospheric pressure on your body?
We do not feel the atmospheric pressure - roughly 101kPa - because our bodies have adapted to it, to the point where the pressure in our bodies exactly balances the external pressure, resulting in no net force on your body.
Why are you not crushed under atmospheric pressure?
The fluids in your body exert pressure and prevent the atmospheric pressure from closing in. Fluids exert pressure on a container the particles collide with each other and the sides of the container.
Which body system would be most affected by a lower than normal atmospheric pressure?
The human respiratory system would be most affected by a lower than normal atmospheric pressure because the air would be much thinner and therefore contain less oxygen.
What substance present in your body balances the atmospheric pressure acting on us?
our blood
