ANSWER:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The effects of aging on the respiratory system are similar to those that occur in other organs:maximum function gradually declines. Age-related changes in the lungs include :

Decreases in peak airflow and gas exchange  

Decreases in measures of lung function such as vital capacity (the maximum amount of air that can be breathed out following a maximum inhalation)  

Weakening of the respiratory muscles  

Decline in the effectiveness of lung defense mechanisms

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

Sort the body openings that are and are not vulnerable to hiv transmission
Hatshy [7]
HIV/AIDS is only transmitted through the bodily fluid of one person that is put into the body of another person. this would be like a baby drinking the breast milk of a mother with HIV or having sexual intercourse with someone who is HIV positive blood. HIV cannot be spread through the mouth (unless the person has oral bleeding when performing oral sex) by kissing or sharing salvia. it is also not transferred through tears from the eyes, through the pores by sweat, and through the ears or nose (unless there are cuts in either the ear or nose and the blood, semen, breast milk, etc of an HIV positive person goes in that cut; this rarely happens).
let me know if you have any further questions
