Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the body ages, the endocrine system undergoes changes that can result in slower reactions to stress-inducing stimuli. The body's stress response is regulated by hormones released by the adrenal glands, and aging can lead to reduced hormone production and decreased sensitivity to stress hormones, resulting in a slower reaction time. Changes in fluid balance, diet, and light are not typically regulated by the endocrine system, thus not affected by changes in the aging process.
