Effect of age on Respiratory system – Aging causes decrease in air-flow and gaseous exchange in the lungs. It weakens the respiratory muscles and the effectiveness of lung defense mechanisms also declines. Moreover the chest walls becomes rigid as it loses it’s elasticity. Aging also causes the sensory receptors in the airways to lose their senstivity.
