a)

Atrophy

b)

Hypertrophy

c)

Hyperplasia

d)

Dysplasia

3.

Listed below are characteristic of atrophy and hypertrophy EXCEPT:

a)

Hypertrophy occurs due to increase amounts of structural proteins and organelles

b)

Hypertrophy only occurs in permanent cells

c)

Aging is a cause of atrophy

d)

Acute myocardial infarction

5.

Which is the statement below is TRUE?

a)

Hyperplasia is increase in the size of cells leading to increase in the size of the organ

Aplasia is abnormal proliferation of cells in an organ

d)

Endometrial hyperplasia is an example of physiologic hyperplasia

6.

Define metaplasia

a)

Metaplasia is replacement of one differentiated cell type by another differentiated cell type, normally as a result of chronic irritation

b)

Metaplasia is complete absence of an organ due to failure of development of the embryonic tissues or cells.
