| Summary: | No living tissue can escape the ageing process. It may express itself by alterations in structure, function, or a combination of both. The structural alterations may be visible to the naked eye, such as greying, baldness and wrinkling of the skin. Others are more subtle and may only be seen with the microscope, such as neuronal degeneration in the cerebral cortex; and still ethers cannot be seen when examined by present methods. Examples of functional alterations that may occur with age are presbyopia, presbycusis and a fall in the lung diffusing capacity (17). |
