Pulmonary function in space

Article Abstract:

Weightlessness appears to alter some aspects of lung function but not enough to cause serious effects. This was the conclusion of a study of 8 members of the Spacelab, which is carried in the payload bay of the space shuttle. While they were in the Spacelab, the astronauts used machines to measure various aspects of lung function. The lung surface area where gas exchange takes place increased as did the output of the heart. The lung was more uniformly ventilated than it is under gravity. Many of the changes confirmed that the lungs are sensitive to gravity.
