The human body is a complex connection of various systems, each affected by the internal and external environment. Each system relies on the other and changes in one can result in variations in all other organ systems. As humans age, their physical appearance changes, but the aging process also occurs below the skin. Each organ system is impacted by time, and an individuals lifestyle can greatly impact his/her organ system. Various anatomical and physiological alterations that occur to the major organ systems due to aging and are relevant to an anesthesiologist are discussed below.
