Flashcards
Cell Injury
Cell Injury
A state where cells are altered in structure or function due to excessive stress that overwhelms their ability to adapt.
Cellular Adaptations
Cellular Adaptations
Cells change to survive in response to stress, like a muscle growing bigger due to exercise.
Reversible Cell Injury
Reversible Cell Injury
Changes that are reversible, like a muscle shrinking (atrophy) due to lack of use or a cell growing larger (hypertrophy) due to demand.
