The human body is constructed to exist in a gravitational environment; everything from blood flow to our sense of balance is influenced by the gravitational pull of the earth. Astronauts who spend protracted periods of time in weightless conditions suffer a number of physiological problems, from chemical imbalances and decalcification of bones to heart irregularities.

Name all the anti gravity muscles in human body?

There are no specific "anti-gravity muscles"; rather, certain muscle groups work to counteract the effects of gravity on the body. These muscles include the core muscles, the gluteal muscles, the quadriceps, and the calf muscles, which are all key for maintaining posture and balance against the force of gravity.


Why can astronauts swallow while in space?

Swallowing is a manipulation of the throat muscles, it's not down to gravity. In theory you can swallow while upside down (but it feels odd and is harder as you're working against gravity). Hope this answers your question.

No, temperature does not affect the force of gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that is determined by the mass and distance between objects, not by temperature. Temperature may affect the properties of objects or materials, but it does not influence the strength of gravity.
