Solution

The typical effects of aging on the integumentary system are:

  • Sweat glands become less active.
  • Pigmented blotches appear on the skin.
  • Fewer hair follicles are present.

The skin does not typically become thicker and more elastic with age, in fact, it often becomes thinner and less elastic. Also, less adipose tissue is usually deposited beneath the skin with age, not more.
