Description
This theory refers to the accumulation of time, everything that undergoes
aging will result in changes.
This theory can be compared into a cellphone particularly the Iphone, if the LCD
of the Iphone will be damage and you’re going to repair it the result of that will
never the same quality and efficiency into the original LCD of the Iphone same
as the body if we had an injury that usually happened specially to our most
functional part of our body and as I stated, the quality or the efficiency will
never be the same as the original. and through that the person may face stressed
or altered the phycological health of the person due to the circumstances that
happened in his/her body. Some stress may lead to bad condition such as heart
attack and gastric ulcers etc.
This pertains that the cellular division is impend due to some reasons like the
chemical reaction and the radiation. and through this, the cross-linking agents
attached into the the DNA that causes to hinder from normal separation during
the process of mitosis. As years passed by, the cross-linking agent builds up
which interfere the transportation of the intracellular, and as a result the organs
in the body will be fail. Also, the effect of this in collagen is there will be
deterioration of elasticity of the important connective tissues in the body like the
lungs, heart, blood vessels and muscles.
This theory refers to altered duplication of the original cell like the protein or
enzyme does not have the same replication.
This free radical comes from the mitochondria, when the mitochondria utilize
oxygen in order to produce energy. These may release potentially harmful
byproduct like the oxygen free radical. Free radicals are incomplete electron and
which made unstable in surrounding molecules by getting electrons from them.
Some free radicals are helpful to our body, it fights pathogens and harmful
microorganism. However, most Free radical are harmful which can deteriorate
the tissues and cells.
The maturing process is programmed by modifying the cell and immunological
functions.
It to our biological function which controls the hormones, temperature, rest,
fertility, and maturing of our biochemical segments.
As time goes by our immune system will decline and our vulnerability will result
in many diseases, aging and death. Over time, our effectiveness on antibodies
will decline.
If our body is lacking or with too much hormone, our hormonal activities will
change, which will accumulate in aging. Since, hormone regulates ageing
pacing.
This theory define as the death of the cell is always occurs in life because of
some chemical reaction. The process of this is, there will be shrinkage of the cell
and also the DNA and nuclear will turns to pieces. However, the membranes still
maintain on its own. Unlike to the cell death that occurs from injury in which
there will be swelling and loss its composition.
