The human body deeper: bones, muscles and skin, sentence 9

You are about a centimetre taller in the morning, because the soft discs between your spine bones squash a little during the day and spring back at night; astronauts grow a few centimetres taller in space, where no gravity presses the discs down.

Who acts: You, soft discs, astronauts, gravity · What happens: be, squash, spring back, grow, press down · To what, where: little, discs
