Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As a person ages, peristalsis and muscle tone decrease leading to slower digestion and elimination. Additionally, hormone levels decrease which can have a range of effects on the body including decreased bone density and changes in mood and cognitive function. The skin actually becomes less elastic with age, and lung tissue may become less elastic as well leading to decreased lung function.
