Biological Theories Flashcards
(41 cards)
Identify episodic event that happen throughout one’s life that cause random cell damage and accumulate over time thus causing aging
Stochastic/statistical perspective
Stochastic/statistical perspective also known as
Probabilistic theory
Acknowledges the role of chances and randomness in the outcomes of events
Probabilistic theory
Assumes that every event has specific cause and effect relationship
Non- stochastic
Non stochastic also known as
Deterministic theory
The study of genome deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), is the hereditary material in humans
Genomics
Suggest that biological factors can influence how people think feel and behave and can help explain individual difference in personality intelligence and mental
Biological theory
The chemical name for the molecule that carries instructions in all living things
DNA
Who founded the neuroscience and biological perspective
Is a modern approach to understanding human behavior that emphasize the rule of biological factors
Charles Darwin
Used to describe processes and state that occur in the bodies and cells of living things
Biological
Error crisis result impaired function of cell
Error theory
Who is the founder of Error theory in the year 1963
Leslie Orgel
That aging is caused by environmental damage to body systems which accumulates over time
Error theory
What year Leslie Orgel?
1963
Philosophical idea that suggests that moral statement such as lying is wrong or helping others is right
Error theory
Free radical theory was first introduced by and but was developed by
Dr. Gerschman in1954 and Dr Deham Harman
Theory that greater an organisms rate of oxygen basal metabolism the shorter its life span
Rate of living theory
Free radicals in the environment caused damage cells which eventually impairs their function
Free radical theory
Where vital parts in our cells and tissues wear out resulting in ageing
Wear and tear theory
According to which an accumulation of cross-linked proteins damaged cells and tissues slowing down bodily process and thus result in aging
Cross-linkage theory
Unstable molecules that can damage cells and cause oxidative stress
Free radical
Suggest that organisms have limited lifespans because their cells and tissues accumulate damage over time due to metabolic activity
Rate of living theory
Cross-linkage theory proposed by
John board stein in 1942
When aging proteins impede metabolic process and cause trouble with getting nutrients to cell and removing cellular waste products
Cross-linkage theory
