Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As a person ages, peristalsis and muscle tone tend to decrease, which can cause digestion problems and a slower metabolism. Additionally, some hormone levels decrease as the body's ability to produce hormones decreases with age. However, skin elasticity does not increase with age, and lung tissue may become less elastic, making it harder to breathe.
