characteristics define cancer - hyperplasiahyperplasia is the extreme proliferation of cells which can be observed in normal as well as cancerous
role of hormones in agingaging as well reflects the inefficiency of the endocrine system a change in the hormonal secretions may contribute to the
extracellular agingthe basic components of extracellular space are mucopolysaccharides and fibrous proteins particularly collagen and elastin these
physiological changes - consequences of agingvarious physiological regulatory mechanisms show decreased efficiency due to aging for instance normally
consequences of aging it is hard to enumerate the general consequences of aging in different animals gradual loss of reproductive ability
biochemical changes - consequences of agingseveral biochemical changes are correlated with aging detailed biochemical studies in rats have been
typical form or reparative regeneration - heteromorphosissometimes the part which grows back is not the same as that which was lost the phenomenon is
reasons for uneven distribution of powerthe causes for uneven distribution of the power of regeneration among animals are not noticeably known from a
