LITERATURE REVIEW Unit code and title; Student Name; Student Number; Name of Lecturer; Date; Assignment Number; REVIEW OF THE STUDY OF IMPACT OF AGE ON THE VASODILATORY FUNCTION OF HUMAN SKELETAL MUSCLE FEED ARTERIES. BACKGROUND The underlying concept of the research as demonstrated is the effect of age on the functioning of the human skeletal feed arteries particularly the vasodilatory functioning. The research seeks to evaluate how age affects the ability of the human skeletal muscle feed arteries to enlarge or constrict due to the relaxation of the smooth muscles or endothelial cells lining the arteries. The skeletal muscles are used in day today physiological process as well as the contraction to enable movement and offer support to the body. Such processes require the vasodilatory functioning of the skeletal feed arteries. However age has a significant impact on how the endothelial cells lining these arteries functions.
