Question
:
The major impact of the physiological changes that occur
withaging is:
Student Reduced physiological reserve
Answer Reduced homeostatic
: mechanismsImpaired
immunological responseAll of
the above
Instructor The major impact of all of these physiological changes can be highlighted
Explanatio with three primary points. First, there is a reduced physiological reserve
n: of
most body systems, particularly cardiac, respiratory, and renal. Second,
there are reduced homeostatic mechanisms that fail to adjust regulatory
systems such as temperature control and fluid and electrolyte balance.
Third, there is impaired immunological function: infection risk is greater,
and autoimmune diseases are more prevalent. (Kennedy-Malone 3)

Testosterone
, Less estrogen than women
Instructor Men have faster and more efficient biotransformation, presumably
Explanatio becauseof serum testosterone. Conditions of increased or decreased

Student Inhibited by
Answer drugsInduced by
: drugs
Inhibited or induced by drugs
Associated with decreased liver perfusion
Instructor Biotransformation occurs in all body tissues but primarily in the
Explanatio liver,where enzymatic activity (cytochrome P [CYP] system) alters
n: and detoxifies the drug and prepares it for excretion. (Kennedy-
