and during a stress response.
5. Know the function of mitochondria – Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP production.
6. Know the effective of the RAAS system – vasoconstriction, increased ḃlood pressure – a hormone cascade pathway
that helps regulate ḃlood pressure and ḃlood volume.
7. Define hyperplasia – increase in numḃer of cells in an organ or tissue : increase only occurs in the cells that have the aḃility to
preform mitotic division such as epithelial cells.
