Study Notes
Cellular Theory
- Aging occurs as cells slow their replication rate.
Wear-and-Tear Theory
- The process of aging is influenced by the accumulation of damage and wear to cells and tissues.
- Tissues that are most susceptible to wear-and-tear include the heart, lungs, and kidneys.
Rate of Living Theory
- The maximum life span and rate of deterioration in each species is primarily determined by its metabolic rate.
Immunological Theory
- The aging process is associated with a decline in the immune system's effectiveness.
