Flashcards
Wear and Tear of Aging
Wear and Tear of Aging
Aging due to accumulating damage from environmental factors and less-than-perfect repair mechanisms.
Imperfect Body Repair
Imperfect Body Repair
The body's repair mechanisms cannot completely fix all damage, leading to accumulation.
Aging & Environmental Factors
Aging & Environmental Factors
