title: Biology and physiology of development of aging.
abstract: The presentation of a new language of biology and physiology to undergraduate and graduate students in gerontology is a challenge met with varied approaches in content and form. Major issues in content are presented with reference to encyclopedic and more readable texts and journals. Use of audiovisual, discussion, and written materials are identified. The importance of ongoing evaluation, knowledge and implementation of the most current information, and goals of undergraduate and graduate courses are addressed.
