Review Kennedy and Dunphy readings for age related changes
Replicative senescence is theory states that cells can replicate or divide a specific number of times.
This ability tends to decrease with age.
Oxidative damage is the cumulative result of the aerobic metabolism, which generates chemicals
called free radicals. Free radicals may interact with other chemicals in the body and cause damage to
cells.
Telomere shortening is a theory that links aging to a reduction in cell division.
Weakening of the immune response leaves older adults more vulnerable to infection and
debilitating diseases.
