Body changes
Bones, heart and lungs, muscles and organs all change in weightlessness. Changes include loss of calcium from bones, and a weakening of the heart, which no longer has to work against gravity to pump blood around the body. The longer an astronaut stays in space, the more noticeable the changes that take place.
