Aging and Tissues

In muscle tissue, for example, the proteins that bring about contraction deteriorate and are not repaired or replaced.

AGING AND TISSUES

In muscle tissue, for example, the proteins that bring about contraction deteriorate and are not repaired or replaced.

Other aspects of the aging of tissues will be more meaningful to you in the context of the functions of organs and systems.
