Question
Chapter 29.4, Problem 11AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
Senescent changes in the respiratory system, including the thoracic cage; why pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases become such prevalent causes of death.
Introduction:
As a result of aging, degeneration of an organ system occurs, and it is referred to as senescence. Degeneration occurs after the age of highest functional efficiency, such as reduced ability to repair damage, increased susceptibility to disease, gradual loss of reserve capacities, and compensate for stress.
