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...

Definitely. There are nerves that are connected all the way from your fingers up your arms and to your spine.

Yes, it is very normal for a jammed finger to swell.
How are the tibia and fibula connected?
The Tibia and fibula are the only bones connecting knee and ankle. The tibia is the main weight bearing bone. The Fibula provides the top attachments for the muscles which raise the foot pivoting at the ankle. Also muscles for raising and straightening the toes. The Tibia also has the top attachments for the main muscles of the calf which enable one to walk tip-toe with the foot pivoted down at the ankle. Again 'Weight-bearing'. With a smashed Fibula you could still walk if willing. Probably not with a smashed Tibia. Tibia also is a blood cell factory inside the marrow.
Has anyone ever survived a decapitation?
Yes. There are two types of decapitation, one can be survived, one not. Medical decapitation is just the separation of the spine from the head, which is very painful, and will most likely result in death, but has been treated successfully. The other type, the one you are thinking of, is a funny circumstance. Scientific evidence gathered in the French Revolution, where else, found that the head survives for a surprisingly long period of time. They were known to show expressions of fear, surprise, anger, and, on one memorable occasion, try to speak. (The story goes that the researcher grabbed the head an said "Did it hurt?" The answer was "Yes.") Recent accounts have the head living for as long as thirty seconds in certain circumstances, though this is always though the testimony of people close to the cause of the trauma, meaning unreliable sources. In old U.S.S.R experiments, a dog's head was kept alive for a substantial period, separated from its body, hooked up to IVs, you can find the video online, but this was under controlled conditions. Lastly, a chicken once survived for several years after decapitation, because the chopper narrowly missed the hind brain, leaving it with basic autonomous functions. They fed it by putting food down it's esophagus through the hole they kept open at the top of the throat. That is different, however, because it is the body surviving without the mind, rather than the other way around. Anyhoo. All human decapitations ended with death, but most are alive long enough to feel the drop on the other side of the chopping block, and even mouth a few swears at the audience before popping off. This is a major reason that decapitation is no longer considered a humane way of implementing the death penalty. Cheers! +++ Very cheerful... The head will die fairly quickly because it is no longer being supplied with oxygen, though not so quickyl it would not feel terrible pain and the muscles may twitch for a time. The story from the French Revolution of a victim replying "Yes" is purely apocryphal because although the head may have mouthed the word "Oui", through the agony, it cannot have enunciated the word out loud as there were no longer lungs to drive the voice, and the throat would have been smashed to pieces anyway. What a horrible topic!
