Aging
is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing
provided, of course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely.
The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the
graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog
or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and
eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but the signs
are much harder to detect.
Most body
parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood.
They reach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that,
they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle.
In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more
inflexible. This can make moving very painful.
All the
major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works
less efficiently, and even gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all
sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent
events.
One of the
most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that
lead from the heart. They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood
to flow to the rest of body. This condition accounts, directly or indirectly,
for many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart
attack.
Aging is
not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates.
There are great differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells
of the body differ in the way they age. The majority of cells are capable of
reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells
and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out.
Gerontologists
- scientists who study the process of aging - believe this wearing out of the
body is controlled by a built-in biological time-clock. They are trying to
discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process. This
could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.

PANDEMIC DISEASES
Diseases are a natural part of life on earth. If there were no diseases,
the population would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or
other resources, so in a way, diseases are natural ways of keeping the Earth in
balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of
people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world,
killing over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a
disease are called pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not
prepared to fight. In 1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no
way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and
killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic
diseases throughout history, all of them have a new thing in common.
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very
easily.
Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill
people very quickly. A good example of this would be the Marburg Marburg Marburg Marburg
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make

could become pandemics. For example, in 2002, and 2003, doctors carefully
watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a
