Question

This condition occurs when muscle mass, strength and function are lost through aging: a. dorsiflexion b. myoclonus c. sarcopenia d. quadriplegia

Answer 1

Answer:

c. sarcopenia

Explanation:

Muscle cells are involved in movements. Skeletal muscles are one of the types of muscles present in the body that are responsible for voluntary movements. As the person ages, the skeletal muscles of the body experience a progressive reduction of their mass. The systemic reduction in muscle mass also adversely affects their functions. The condition is called sarcopenia. Significantly reduced muscle mass results in several functional disabilities. Sarcopenia is the reason that the person with increasing age is more likely to be affected with muscular disorders.
