Space Physiology: From Earth to Space and Back Again provides readers with new and authoritative information about current and important topics related to risks and their countermeasures in space.
This book covers translation of Earth-based physiology to astronaut health and Earth applications of space research. Topics include adaptations of various systems to space, including bone, microcirculation, microcirculation, skeletal and smooth muscles, headward fluid shifts, vision as well as integrated countermeasures to maintain well-being and health in space.

This is a volume in Elsevier’s series Hot Topics in Physiology, published in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences. It is an ideal reference for academics and researchers (space physiology and medicine, space radiation, rehabilitation medicine, exercise, wound healing, biochemistry and cell biology, molecular biology) at undergraduate, masters, PhD, and Post-Doc levels.
