  • Title: [Redistribution of body liquids in the conditions of microgravity and simulation of its effects].
    Author: Noskov VB.
    Journal: Aviakosm Ekolog Med; 2011; 45(1):17-26. PubMed ID: 21675189.
    Abstract:
    The review is devoted to shifting of blood and other liquids along the body axis toward the cranium end in microgravity and during simulation of the zero-g physiological effects. The body liquids redistribution excites a number of consistent physiological reactions as well as a cascade of secondary adaptation processes. Changes occur in central venous pressure and size of the heart cavities, renal function and hormonal volumoregulation entailing the adaptive shifts in body liquid segments. Hemodynamic changes in the splanchnic vascular system affect functioning of the abdominal organs. Measures of pharmacological correction expedite human adaptation to unusual environments.
