    Study Notes

    Cellular Aging

    • As cells age, their function declines.
    • Cell death is a normal part of the body's functioning.

    Organ Aging

    • A decline in one organ's function can affect another organ's function.
    • Atherosclerosis, a condition that narrows blood vessels, can decrease blood flow to the kidneys, impacting their function.

    Aging Cells

    • Cells age, their functions decline over time.
    • Old cells die as part of normal body function.

    Aging Organs

    • Decline in one organs function can affect another.
    • Reduced blood flow to kidneys from narrowed blood vessels (atherosclerosis) can impact kidney function.
