I can also add that all these teeny tiny boxes are highly pressurized. In most cells, the pressure is around 3 bar, three times the pressure of our atmosphere. This means if you would take all the water in a body without this pressure it would probably be larger in volume than the actual body. Adding further to this, this pressure should also make all the structures in the body more rigid and less fluid.
