True or False. If false, explain why the statement is false.
A benign neoplasm invades and destroys tissue and possesses a rapid rate of growth. - (answer)False. A
malignant neoplasm invades and destroys tissues and possesses a rapid rate of growth.
OR
A benign neoplasm resembles the cells of the tissues of origin and possesses a slow rate of growth.
True or False. If false, explain why the statement is false.
A malignant neoplasm resembles the cells of the tissues of origin and possesses a slow rate of growth. -
(answer)False. A benign neoplasm resembles the cells of the tissues of origin and possesses a slow rate
of growth.
OR
A malignant neoplasm invades and destroys tissue and possesses a rapid rate of growth.
List 2 differences between benign and malignant neoplasms. - (answer)Any combination of the following
- Benign tumors are well-differentiated cells, resemble the cells of tissues of origin, and have a slow,
progressive rate of growth. They grow by expansion and remain localized to their site of origin, not
capable of metastasizing. Malignant neoplasms invade and destroy tissue. They grow rapidly, spread to
other parts of the body, and lack well- defined margins. They can compress blood vessels and outgrow
their blood supply, causing ischemia and tissue injury.
Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis. - (answer)In dry gangrene the affected
tissue becomes dry and shrinks, the skin wrinkles, and its color changes to dark brown or black. The
spread of dry gangrene is slow. It results from a cut-off in arterial blood supply and is a form of
coagulation necrosis. In wet gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The skin is moist,
black, and under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction occurs, and a foul odor is caused by
bacterial action. The spread of tissue damage is rapid.
