A malignant neoplasm invades and destroys tissue and possesses
a rapid rate of growth.
List 2 differences between benign and malignant neoplasms.
[ANS:] 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.
[ANS:] In dry gangrene the affected tissue becomes dry and
Guru01 - Stuvia
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.

Sneakers program at their local gym because they read that

caution would you give to them as they participate in this
program? [ANS:] While weight-bearing exercises have been
shown to increase bone density, they should be done in a safe
