De acordo com a metodologia empregada e os resultados obtidos, é lícito concluir- se que:
apresentados acerca das características morfológicas nas CPas dos segmentos C e L de indivíduos jovens (GJ) e idoso (GI), podemos concluir que:
Ocorrem alterações na superfície da CPa do segmento L do GJ classificado como grau 2.
A degeneração da CPa ocorre de forma heterogênea entre todos os indivíduos do GI.
As característica do grau 2 no GI podem ser admitidas como decorrentes do processo de envelhecimento normal.
Não há diferença no processo de degeneração entre os segmentos C e L no GI.
