Microgravity Effects: In space, the lack of gravity affects various bodily functions. Muscles and bones can weaken because they don’t have to support body weight.
Fluid Redistribution: In microgravity, bodily fluids shift towards the upper body and head. This can result in facial swelling and pressure in the eyes
Radiation Exposure: Space travel exposes astronauts to higher levels of cosmic radiation than on Earth.
Psychological Effects: The isolation and confinement experienced during long-duration space missions can impact mental health
Changes in Immune Function: Space travel can alter immune system responses, making astronauts more vulnerable to infections.
Altered Sleep Patterns: The absence of a regular day-night cycle in space can disrupt sleep patterns
Cardiovascular Changes: Spaceflight can affect the cardiovascular system, leading to changes in heart function and blood pressure regulation
