Question
: The major impact of the physiological changes that occur
with aging is:
Student Reduced physiological reserve
Answer
: Reduced homeostatic
mechanisms Impaired
immunological response All of
the above
Instructor The major impact of all of these physiological changes can be
Explanatio highlighted with three primary points. First, there is a reduced
n: physiological reserve 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-

: drugs Induced
by drugs
Inhibited or induced by drugs
Associated with decreased liver perfusion
Biotransformation occurs in all body tissues but primarily in the

liver, where enzymatic activity (cytochrome P [CYP] system) alters
