Cellular Adaptations and Injuries Quiz

A state where cells are altered in structure or function due to excessive stress that overwhelms their ability to adapt.

Cells change to survive in response to stress, like a muscle growing bigger due to exercise.

Changes that are reversible, like a muscle shrinking (atrophy) due to lack of use or a cell growing larger (hypertrophy) due to demand.

Changes that are permanent and can lead to cell death, like a cell being starved of oxygen for too long.

A type of cellular adaptation where cells change into a different type, like a muscle cell turning into a fat cell.
