Tumor
1. Define (associate the 9 characteristics/features of each)
Benign:
• Specific morphology – resemble the tissues they originated from
• A smaller nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio – similar to normal cells
• Specific differentiated function – contributes to the body function
• Tight adherence - bind closely together due to the production of fibronectin
• No migration – do not invade other tissues
• Orderly growth – rate of growth is normal by expansion
• Euploidy – normal chromosomes per cell
, Malignant tumor:
• Anaplasia – loss of appearance of parent cell
• A larger nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio – larger nucleus
• Specific functions are lost – serve no purpose
• Loose adherence – loosely bound due to the lacḱ of fibronectin production
• Migration – spread easily (metastasize)
• Contact inhibition does not occur – loss of cellular regulation
• Rapid or continuous cell division – loss of cellular regulation
• Aneuploidy – Abnormal chromosomes
