What is Pathophysiology? - correct answer The systematic study of the functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs altered by disease and or injury. Atrophy - correct answer against growing so cells decreasing in size hypertrophy - correct answer increase in cellular size dysplasia - correct answer atypical hyperplasia, an abnormal change in the size, shape, and organization of mature tissue cells deranged cellular growth (normal cells but in the wrong place) (often occurs due t...

Metaplasia - correct answer Metaplasia is the reversible replacement of one mature cell type by another immature cell. The best example of metaplasia is replacement of normal columnar ciliated epithelial cells of the bronchial lining by stratified squamous epithelial cells. Causative factors of atrophy - correct answer aging, disuse, or reduced/absent blood supply, hormonal stimulation, or neural stimulation Causative factors of hypertrophy - correct answer commonly seen in left ventricle ...

Atrophy - correct answer decrease in the size of a tissue or organ resulting from a decrease in cell size Causes of atrophy - correct answer - disuse and reduce functional demand - Insufficient nutrients - decreased blood flow - persistent cell injury - aging Hypertrophy - correct answer increase in cell size as well as an increase in the amount of functioning tissue mass Cause of hypertrophy - correct answer increase in workload Hyperplasia - correct answer Increase in the numbe...
