This article is the second in a three-part series discussing the effects of long periods of bedrest on the body. It explores what happens to the gastrointestinal, endocrine and renal systems when a person is confined to bed. The effects on the reproductive and nervous systems are also covered. Part 1 examined the effects on the cardiovascular, respiratory and haematological systems.
