Smooth muscle tissue is replaced with connective tissue and affects the intravesical and urethral pressures that contributes to urinary incontinence. Relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and degeneration of the cerebral cortex ...are contributing factors as well. Diminished thirst perception can affect homeostasis.Theres a whole bunch of terms and short term treatments but I'm not going to write them all out and do your assignment for you. You're a student? It should all be in your textbook...or google it :)

good luck.
