Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of gravity on fluid flow in the human body?
  • Step 1: Understand that gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the Earth.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the human body contains fluids, such as blood and lymph.
  • Step 3: Know that the position of the body (standing, sitting, lying down) affects how gravity acts on these fluids.
  • Step 4: When standing, gravity helps pull blood back to the heart from the legs, which is called venous return.
  • Step 5: In contrast, when lying down, gravity has less effect on blood flow, making it easier for blood to circulate.
