Aging changes in organs, tissues, and cells Aging changes in organs - tissue - cells. All vital organs begin to lose some function as you age during adulthood. Aging changes occur in all of the body's cells, tissues, and organs, and these changes affect the functioning of all body systems. Living tissue is made up of cells. There are many different types of cells, but all have the same basic structure. Tissues are layers of similar cells that perform a specific function. The different kinds of tissues group together to form organs.

Low Sex Drive? Men's Age-Related Changes May Have Surprising Cause Men make estrogen from testosterone, and women do, too, Finkelstein said. So when men age and testosterone levels naturally decline, men also experience a drop in levels of estrogen circulating in their blood. The new results suggest that when estrogen levels drop, men experience some of the same consequences that women do after menopause: They have more bone loss, their libido declines, and they gain more fat around their midsection.

Patterns of Growth and Decline in Lung Function in Persistent Childhood Asthma The identification of these trajectories was performed to match the long-standing model of lung-function growth and decline 1 and was informed by previous work identifying a plateau phase starting by the age of 20 years, followed by a decline starting by the age of 25 years in outbred populations. 27 In the two groups with an early decline in lung function, the mean age when lung function began to decline was 21.1 years for participants with normal growth and 21.3 years for those with ...

Chapter 2: The locomotor system In spite of the atrophy, the muscle fibers retain their histological characteristics for a year or more, eventually being replaced by fat and connective tissue. Provided that nerve regeneration occurs, human muscles may regain fairly normal function up to a year after denervation. bone is composed of several tissues, predominantly a specialized connective tissue that is, itself, called “bone.” Bones provide a framework of levers, they protect organs such as the brain and heart, their marrow forms certain blood cells, and they store and exchange calcium and phosphate ions.
