Atrophy A decrease in cell size due to a loss of subcellular
components.
hypertrophy An increase in the size of the cells due to synthesis of more
subcellular components, leading to an increase in tissue and
organ size.
, Hyperplasia An increase in the actual number of cells in an organ or tissue,
usually resulting in an increase in size of the organ or tissue.
Dysplasia An alteration in the size, shape, and organization of cells.
Metaplasia A reversible, cellular adaptation in which one adult cell type is
replaced by another adult cell type.
Percentage of body weight that is fluid Approximately 50-70%
Ascites accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity
Tonicity Tension exerted on a cell due to water movement across the
cell membrane
Isotonic solution Solutions with the same osmolarity as intracellular fluid
Hypertonic solution A solution with an osmolarity greater than intracellular fluid.
Hypotonic solution A solution with an osmolarity lower than intracellular fluid.
