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.
