(A-C) Physiologic hypertrophy of the uterus during preg- nancy. (A) Gross appearance of a normal uterus (right) and a gravid uterus (left) that was removed for post- partum bleeding. (B) Small spindle-shaped uterine smooth muscle cells from a non-gravid uterus. (C) Large, plump, hypertrophied smooth muscle cells from a gravid uterus; compare with (B). (B and C, same magnifica- tion.) (D, E) Myocardial hypertrophy in a patient with severe hypertension. (D) Normal myocardium (thickness 1 to 1.5 cm). (E) Myocardial hypertrophy. The left ventricular wall is thicker than 2 cm. n cronc smokers and coumnar meapasa o e esopagea e subsance may be ocaed n e cyopasm, wn organees squamous epeum n paens w cronc gasrc relux (Fg.
