The similarity of major physiological functions between man and monkey make non-human primates a suitable model, especially for experiments in weightlessness. Bone tissue of rhesus monkeys can easily be analysed by histological techniques in order to appreciate the effects of hypogravity upon the skeletal system. A technique for iliac crest biopsy has been developed in a laboratory. It is to be used on rhesus monkeys used in various experimental situations, and especially after exposure to the space environment.
人类和猴子主要生理功能的相似性使非人类灵长类动物成为合适的模型，尤其适用于失重实验。恒河猴的骨组织可以很容易地通过组织学技术进行分析，以便了解微重力对骨骼系统的影响。一个实验室已经开发出一种髂嵴活检技术。该技术将用于各种实验情况下的恒河猴，特别是在暴露于太空环境之后。
