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.

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.

Do you want to know what happens to the limb, the astronaut or the space programme?


What happens if an astronaut removes its helmet in space?

He/she dies!


What is the pressure gauge on a space suit for?

The pressure gauge on a space suit is used to monitor and maintain the correct pressure inside the suit to ensure that the astronaut is protected from the vacuum of space. It helps regulate the suit's internal environment and ensures the astronaut can breathe and move properly.


What happens to astronaut in space?

Their bodies would become very weak.


What would happen if an astronaut took of his helmet in space?

If an astronaut took off his helmet in space, his body would explode from the lack of pressure in space before other problems would become noticeable.


What might happen to the blood of an astronaut subjected to extremely low pressures?

If an astronaut is subjected to extremely low pressures, such as in outer space without a spacesuit, the blood may start to boil due to the lack of atmospheric pressure. This can lead to gas bubbles forming in the bloodstream, potentially causing serious harm to the astronaut's circulatory system and vital organs. Immediate medical attention would be needed to prevent serious injury or death.


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.


What happens if an astronaut throws a tennis ball into space using newtons 1st law?

Blood pressure is affected by constriction and dilation of?

Blood vessels. Constriction of blood vessels increases blood pressure by reducing the space for blood flow, while dilation of blood vessels decreases blood pressure by increasing the space for blood flow.


If an astronaut died in space in a crash of some kind and he was bleeding would his blood be blue or red?

the blood is always red . The red colour of the blood is caused by an iron compound hemoglobin. neither in earth nor in space hemoglobin could suddenly turn blue so the blood of the bleeding astronaut will always be red


What would happen to an astronaut without a spacesuit?

They would quickly die of asphyxiation due to the lack of air and the astronauts blood would boil because there is very little pressure in space so this would lower the boiling point of your blood causing it to boil quicker at a lower temperature this would also contribute to killing the astronaut.
