Micro-gravity and Radiation can cause Bone Loss. Space travelers can lose 1-2 percent of bone mass each month. To avoid the bone loss, astronauts work out for two and half hours a day. Also astronauts take Bisphophonate to prevent bone loss. Bone loss can effect Nervous system,circulatory, muscular and cardiac system.. Vitamin D can boost bone density.
- Nervous system can effect bone loss because it gives signals to the body.
- Muscular system can effect bone loss because it keeps the bones warm.
- Circulatory can effect the bone loss because it keeps oxygen and keeps blooding flowing.
- cardiac system can effect bone loss because the heart needs to pump out blood and also needs to have oxygen in the human body.
