Overview

This work discusses the behaviour of the lung in the presence and absence of gravity - emphasizing the effect of gravity upon the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and lymphatic systems. It covers experiments in respiratory physiology from before the Space Shuttle Era to long-duration flights of the International Space Station. It details the effects of gravity on blood flow, inhaled particulate matter, and ventilation control on the lung.
