Abstract

The work focuses on diverse issues pertaining gravity and its impact on the human body .The human body undergoes considerable changes that are sometimes usually harmless while exposed to an environment without the aspect of gravity.The realization that the lack of gravity results to physical changes to the respective human body comes following the step NASA took sending astronauts into the orbit for a shorter period. Fluid accumulation in the body when in space poses a threat to the functional system of the human body. The human living on the earth's atmosphere is affected by the aspect of gravity since the two thirds of the respective daily activities stands or sits
