The smooth muscles inside the blood vessels adjust to the micro gravity in order to work properly, the same way they work on Earth. Also the heart rate slows since the muscles of the legs are not in use due to the lack of gravity

What happens to muscle and bones in space?

the astronaut heart and muscles and bones shrink and get weaker ...this because: the earth's gravitational pull is strong so the heart pumps blood harder than it needs to in space so when a astronaut is in orbit it doesn't need to work so hard so they shrink. hope this helps.

How does the pressure in the astronaut's suit help the body work?

The pressure in the astronaut's suit helps to counteract the lack of atmospheric pressure in space, preventing the body from swelling due to the vacuum of space. This pressure also helps to maintain a stable environment for the body's fluids and gases, allowing the astronaut to breathe and move more comfortably in space.

What happens to Blood pressure of astronaut in space?

Because blood is liquid, its boiling point is affected by pressure changes. Extremely low pressure would lower the boiling point enough that the blood would boil at a temperature less than body temperature.

What happens when an astronaut pretends to throw something in outer space and what happens to him?

In weightlessness, an astronaut that "pretends" to throw an object may find his or her arm's sudden movement causes their body to rotate in the same direction. If they actually threw a mass, the forces would cause the astronaut to travel in the opposite direction.


What happens to a space suit when it ruptures in space?

If a space suit ruptures in space, the astronaut inside could potentially lose air and experience a rapid decompression. This could lead to hypoxia (lack of oxygen), where the astronaut loses consciousness. Emergency procedures would need to be followed to address the situation and ensure the astronaut's safety.
