Brief Summary
This is a study of advanced lung physiology in altered gravitational conditions, consisting of respiratory measurements in healthy volunteers during high G acceleration on a long-arm human centrifuge.
Detailed Description
The lung is highly gravity-dependent - it has little actual tissue mass and deforms under its own weight. This is relevant to astronauts in space, but is actually much more broadly important to life o...
