What are some physiological changes that effect the elderly people?

Some physiological changes in elderly individuals include decreased muscle mass and strength, reduced bone density leading to osteoporosis, slower metabolism, decreased sensory perception (such as vision and hearing), and decrease in cardiovascular fitness. These changes can impact mobility, balance, and overall health in older adults.

What are the major physiological effects of acidosis and alkalosis?

The principal physiological effect of acidosis is depression of the central nervous system through depression of synaptic transmission. If the systemic arterial blood H falls below 7, depression of the nervous system is so severe that the individual becomes disoriented, then becomes comatose, and may die. A major physiological effect of alkalosis is overexcitability in both the central nervous system and peripheral nerves. Neurons conduct impulses repetitively, even when not stimulated; the results are nervousness, muscle spasms a, and even convulsions and death.


What are 6 factors that impact your physiological age?

Genetics: Your inherited genes can influence how quickly your body ages. Lifestyle choices: Diet, exercise, and stress management can affect the rate of physiological aging. Environmental factors: Exposure to toxins, pollutants, and UV radiation can impact the aging process. Chronic diseases: Conditions like diabetes or heart disease can accelerate physiological aging. Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels can play a role in aging. Sleep quality: Poor sleep can contribute to accelerated aging processes in the body.

What is the process in which a physiological change triggers further change in the same direction?

Positive feedback loop is the process in which a physiological change triggers further change in the same direction. The initial change leads to more of the same change, amplifying the response. An example is the release of oxytocin during childbirth, which stimulates contractions leading to more oxytocin release.

What is Quantitative physiological change?

Quantitative physiological change refers to measurable alterations in the body's functions or processes, usually recorded in numerical values. This can include changes in heart rate, blood pressure, hormonal levels, or other physiological parameters that can be quantified and analyzed. These changes are often assessed to monitor health status, track progress, or evaluate the impact of interventions.


A self-amplifying chain of physiological events is called?
