Chapter 46, Problem 14TYK

Summary Introduction

To review:

A hypothesis for the effect of zero gravity on respiration and design an experiment to test the hypothesis.

Introduction:

Zero gravity is exhibited in space as well as by the absence of air and atmosphere. Since space does not contain air in space and no atmosphere, so there is no gravity. Apparently, in zero gravity lungs will not undergo structural adaptive changes, and so lungs will function efficiently, even in space or after returning from space.
