The Exhaustion Theory
|
Suggests that the body contains a finite amount of energy that is used up over time. When exhausted, the body dies
|
|
The Accumulation Theory
|
Harmful material such as lipofuscin develops late in life and destroys cells.
|
|
Biological Programming Theory
|
Cells are genetically programmed to live for a specific period, leading to inevitable death
|
|
Error Theory
|
In senescence, DNA is altered. When errors transmit to RNA, defective enzymes build up leading to death.

Cross Linkage or Eversion Theory
|
Linkages holding polypeptide strands of collagen change, making it less permeable and elastic, therefore less capable of sustaining life.
