!Review Kennedy and Dunphy readings for age related changes ReP.licative senescence is theory states that cells can replicate or divide a specific number of times.This ability tends to decrease with age.Oxidative damage is the cumulative result of the aerobic metabolism , which generates chemicals called free radicals. Free radicals may interact with other chemicals in the body and cause damage to cells.Telomere shortening is a theory that links aging to a reduction in cell division.M'eakening of the immune response leaves older adults more vulnerable to infection and debilitating diseases.
