GEY 3601 -Exam 1and 2-Practice
Questions and All Solved Solutions.
Young Old - Answer Adults age 65-74
Middle Old - Answer Adults age 75-84
Old- Old - Answer Adults age 85-up
Gerontology - Answer Broad study of aging process
Geriatrics - Answer Focuses on medical problems associated with aging
Three lifestyle factors that have a major impact on the manner in which we age are: - Answer
*Regular Exercise
*Proper Nutrition
*Stress Management
Reserve Capacity - Answer As we age our bodies become less and less capable of dealing with
high demand or high stress.
Stochastic Theories - Answer View aging as caused by a series of adverse changes in the cells
that lead to replicative errors.
Four Stochastic theories - Answer *Wear and Tear theory
*Error Theory
*Cross Linking or Connective Tissue Theory
*Free Radical Theory
Wear and Tear Theory - Answer One of the earlier attempts to explain biological aging
changes. It is based on the assumption that continued use leads to worn out or defective parts
of the body.
Error Theory - Answer This theory is primarily concerned with cumulative mistakes that occur
in DNA and RNA with age.
, Cross linking or Connective Tissue - Answer Chemical reactions create bonds between
molecules that are normally separate
Free Radical Theory - Answer Free radicals are unstable compounds that attach to other
compounds making them less efficient
Nonstochastic Theories - Answer View aging as caused by replicated errors in cells that are
intrinsic and predetermined or programmed.
Types of Nonstochastic Theories - Answer *Programmed aging theory
*Immunity Theory
Programmed Aging Theory (Cellular) - Answer Hayflick and Moorhead (1961)
*Biological clock that determines the aging process
*The cell divides "x" number of times then stops
dividing
Immunological Theory (Immunity Theory) - Answer As a person gets older, the immune system
has a decreased capacity to make a distinction between normal and foreign materials
Skeletal System Components - Answer -Bones
-Joints
-Cartilage
-Ligaments
-Tendons
Bones - Answer Made of bone tissue
Joints - Answer Place where two or more bones connect
Cartilage - Answer -Tough, flexible tissue
-Cushions & Protects bones
Ligaments - Answer Connect bone to bone
