Course details
• Space Physiology Fundamentals: An overview of the core concepts in space physiology, including the effects of microgravity on the human body and the physiological adaptations required for space travel.
• Cardiovascular Physiology in Space: A detailed examination of the cardiovascular changes that occur during spaceflight, including orthostatic intolerance, fluid shifts, and changes in cardiac output.
• Musculoskeletal Physiology in Space: An exploration of the effects of microgravity on muscle atrophy, bone loss, and changes in muscle tone and strength during spaceflight.
• Neurophysiology in Space: An analysis of the neurological changes that occur during spaceflight, including changes in sensory perception, motor control, and cognitive function.
• Radiation Physiology in Space: A study of the effects of ionizing radiation on the human body during spaceflight, including the risks of radiation-induced cancer and degenerative diseases.
