Description:
The
deliverable will be a final report that characterizes internal jugular vein and
brachiocephalic vein blood flow during acute periods of weightlessness via
parabolic flight.
It will contribute to the SANS-101 and CVD-101 gaps by addressing the role
of gravity and anatomical shifts in venous flow changes in neck veins.
