    As the document discusses aging in the human body over time. It notes that the first signs of aging typically occur around 30 years of age as fertility starts to decline. In later decades such as the 40s and 50s, adult onset disorders may begin. The skin also shows signs of aging like less elastin, collagen, and fat tissue. Finally, cells lose their ability to replicate as frequently and DNA mutations can build up. The second chapter outlines changes in the integumentary system or skin, like increased age spots and wrinkles due to shrinking sweat glands and blood vessels. This makes temperature regulation more difficult for older adults.

    Chapter 1
    As we grow older our body ages with us; aging occurs from conception on, and takes it turn on cells, tissue, organs, and organ systems. The first sign of aging occurs around the age of thirty, along with this aging female fertility starts to decline. Later on in the forties and fifties adult onset disorders that may begin. Next our skin ages causing elastin, collagen, and subcutaneous fat start to show less. Older people may start to metabolize drugs at different rates than younger people. Finally as we get older cells start to divide only a limited number of times, as DNA falters, and mutations may accumulate. These are some of the many changes that occur as our body ages.

    Chapter 6
    As we age a number things occur in the integumentary system. As our skin ages, age spots and liver spots appear and grow, along with wrinkling and sagging. Because of changes in the amount of sweat glands and shrinking capillary beds in the skin, older people are less able to tolerate the cold and cannot regulate heat. Aged skin has a diminished ability to activate vitamin D which is necessarily for skeletal health. These are some of the changes that occur to the integumentary system during the aging process. Interconnections: In the respiratory system stimulation of skin receptors may alter respiratory rate.
