Hello,
It is well known that the atmospheric air pressure is significantly strong but our body does not get crushed by it because and equal pressure pushes from the inside our body.
That said, does it mean that air can exist and be diffused inside solid organs like the lungs, our heart, etc. and exert its pressure as it would without permeating the organs? Is the pressure inside the solid body parts equal to atmospheric pressure? How does that happen? Does air diffuse through solids like that?
Thanks!
