astronauts on the ISS place their lives in the hands of the space station's
advanced life support system. For the astronauts to survive in space,
the temperature and pressure within the ISS must be maintained. An
adequate supply of oxygen must be provided, and waste gases, such as
carbon dioxide, must be removed. Solid waste must also be removed,
but urine is recycled to provide the crew with clean water. All of these
functions are achieved with the help of advanced technology systems.
All the systems on the ISS must work together to support life on
board. The same is true inside your body. Like the life support system
on the ISS, your organ systems must work together to keep you alive.
For instance, your body needs systems that enable it to take in
oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.
