Hyperplasias, Hamartomas, and Neoplasms Quiz

The conversion from one type of normal adult cell to another type of normal adult cell

The ability to cause hyperplasia by insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF) through the splitting of cells

The increase in the volume of an organ or tissue due to the enlargement of its component cells

Increased cell production in a normal tissue or organ, which may produce tissue masses referred to as tumors and ceases growth at some point (correct)

They result in the increase in the size of cells, for example, to skeletal muscle cells during weight training

They are also known as hypertrophy and occur due to insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF)

They lead to the conversion from one type of normal adult cell to another type of normal adult cell

They lack the capacity for autonomous growth and are controlled by an identifiable stimulus (correct)

Pathologic hyperplasia is reversible when the stimulus is removed, while physiologic hyperplasia is irreversible

Pathologic hyperplasia is controlled by an identifiable stimulus, while physiologic hyperplasia is initiated and controlled by an identifiable stimulus

Pathologic hyperplasia is due to the growth of normal cells, while physiologic hyperplasia is a sign of abnormal or precancerous changes (correct)

Pathologic hyperplasia may produce tissue masses referred to as tumors, while physiologic hyperplasia lacks the capacity for autonomous growth
