Basically I think it is because the atmosphere exerts a pressure on our bodies while our bodies exert and equal pressure back. Hence homeostasis is maintained.

A biologist would be better able to explain the process better. No doubt it is a lot more complicated than that.


Tut

Atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg Our blood pressure out at avr 140mmHg running at 85 -90 mmHg not really equal pressure?

Atmospheric pressure at 760mmHg and our blood pressure out at aver 120 -145mmHg running at diastolic 80-90 mmHg not equal pressure?
