A pilot in Sukhoi aircraft is experiencing negative G. Which of the following physiological events will manifest in such situation?

A
The hydrostatic pressure in veins of lower limb increases
B
The cardiac output decreases
C
Black out occurs
D
The cerebral arterial pressure rises
High-Yield Explanation
In negative gravity, the blood will no longer be held onto lower limbs. So lower limb venous pressure decrease and the venous return increases. This will cause the cardiac output to increase. Since no gravity, blood rushes to the head, and cause increased cerebral arterial pressure and red outs (mental confusion).
