Aging is an inevitable and universal part of the human experience. As individuals grow older, their bodies undergo a multitude of physiological changes, impacting various organ systems. Understanding these anatomical changes is crucial for healthcare professionals, caregivers and the aging population to provide adequate care and maintain a good quality of life. In this article, we will embark on a comprehensive examination of geriatric anatomy, exploring how aging affects various organ systems and the implications for overall health and well-being. As individuals age, their physiological systems undergo a series of changes, which can impact their health and well-being. These changes require special consideration when providing medical care for geriatric patients. Understanding the physiological considerations in the geriatric patient is essential for healthcare professionals to ensure effective and patient-centered care. In this article, we will explore some of the key physiological changes that occur in older adults and their implications for healthcare.
