     • The human cardiovascular system and regulation of fluid volume are heavily influenced by gravity. When decreasing the effects of gravity in humans such as by anti-orthostatic posture changes or immersion into water, venous return is increased by some 25%.

   How does gravity affect the cardiovascular system?

   • Gravity is a relentless fact of life on Earth. With each change in posture, the vector of all hydrostatic pressure gradients is altered, and regional pressures affected. Due to the elongated shape of the human body, our cardiovascular system is particularly sensitive and when upright gravity reduces cardiac output by remarkable 2 L/min.

   How does gravity affect blood pressure?

   • When lying in the supine or prone position, gravity exerts an even effect at the level of the feet, heart, and head, and the arterial blood pressure is evenly distributed along the bodily axis. Upon standing, disparities in the arterial and venous pressures occur due to gravity (See Fig. 24.2).

   How does gravity affect life on Earth?

   • Gravity has been a constant presence throughout the history of Earth, and while invisible to the human eye, has provided pivotal evolutionary direction for life on Earth. Gravity is a vector, a force that has magnitude and direction in space, with gravitational loading on Earth being directed towards the Earth’s center.

   How does gravity affect the distribution of blood and tissue fluid?

   • Polar distribution of blood and tissue fluid in gravity and microgravity. On earth, gravitational loading increases in direction from head to foot, affecting the musculoskeletal support and distribution of blood and tissue fluids (a).

   How does gravity affect the brain?

   • Brain: Since the 1980s, scientists have observed that the absence of gravity leads to enhanced blood retention in the upper body, and so increased pressure in the brain. Recent research suggests this heightened pressure reduces the release of neurotransmitters, key molecules that brain cells use to communicate.

   Does gravity affect biology?

   • Based from these observations, there appear to be gravity-sensitive and specific pathways across biological organisms, though knowledge gaps of the effects of gravity on biology remain, such as similarities and differences across species, reproduction, development, and evolutionary adaptations, sex-differences, etc.

   Nov 28, 2019 · The human brain occupies the highest point in the body, making it uniquely vulnerable to the passive effect of gravity. As a consequence of an upright posture, postural fainting (orthostatic or vasovagal syncope) is a short lived, self-limited loss of consciousness that is unique to humans.

   Jan 7, 2020 · On return to Earth, gravity once again “pulls” the blood and fluids into the abdomen and legs. The loss of blood volume, combined with atrophy of the heart and blood vessels that can occur in space, reduces the ability to regulate a drop in blood pressure that happens when we stand on Earth.
