PSY-358 Adult Development and Aging
Changes from Adolescence to Adulthood
Directions: In 25-50 words for each age range, describe the various physical changes that can take place for each system listed. Use properly formatted APA in-text citations, including full references at the bottom of the chart.
Age Range Sensory System Reproductive System Cardiovascular System Nervous System Appearance Mobility
20-25 Minimal hearing and sight loss Numerous hormonal changes Pumps an estimated 5litres per minute Reflexes are high Collagen is still being produced at a sufficient rate Can walk actively
26-35 Increased light sensitivity Libido begins to drop Arteries may start to thicken Neuron reduction begins Loss of pigmentation is evident Bone loss begins
36-45 Difficulty in reading Perimenopause begins Cardiovascular issues may begin Evidence of steady reduction of neurons Loss of pigmentation is more evident and faster Bone loss issues may hinder mobility
46-55 Pupils are smaller Menopause occurs Decline of aerobic exercise Abnormal circadian rhythms cause lack of sleep Skin loses its appeal due to collagen weakening Osteoporosis may occur (Cavanaugh & Blanchard-Fields, 2018)
56-65 Difficulty in focusing Reduced sexual drive Strained heart functions Adipose deposits are high Loss of teeth May require external support while moving
66-75 High frequency sounds not easily heard Low sperm production for men Heart pumps an estimated 3 liters per minute (Cavanaugh & Blanchard-Fields, 2018) Cardiomyocytes are decreased Loss of many sensory functions Mobility is impaired
76-85 May suffer degenerative disorders No or minimal sexual arousal Heartbeats are irregular The CNS may not complement the PNS The skin loses its tightness Mobility may be entirely lost
86-Death May result in total failure of all senses May result in complete breakdown of all organs May result in total failure of the heart May result in total collapse of all nerves The skin becomes weak and sensitive May result in total failure of all motor functions
