Presentation Transcript

  1. Human Anatomy Aging Body Systems

  2. Integumentary • Oil & sweat glands decrease • Circulation to skin decrease • Nails become brittle • Fatty tissue decrease • Sensitive to temp. change

  3. Musculoskeletal • Loss of muscle tone / strength • Loss of bone calcium • Inflammation of joints • Loss of Ht. • Decrease in mobility / balance

  4. Respiratory • Muscles become weaker • Difficulty coughing up secretions • Shallow breathing

  5. Circulatory • Decrease cardiac output • Blood vessels narrow • Decrease blood flow to brain • Difficulty with strenuous activity

  6. Nervous • Progressive loss of nerve cells • Diminish senses (hearing, smell, sight) • Poor reflexes

  7. Digestive • Loss of teeth (maybe) • Decrease muscle action • Difficulty swallowing • Loss of taste

  8. Urinary • Kidney decrease in size • Decrease in producing urine • Bladder decrease in size

  9. Endocrine • Metabolism decreases (tired, less alert, wt. gain) • Intolerance to glucose
