Identify if the statement is True or False. If the statement is false, identify what is incorrect and correct it. Cellular adaptation often refer to reversible changes in size, number, phenotype or appearance, metabolic activity or functions of cells in response to adverse environmental conditions or internal bodily stresses Pathologic Hyperplasia refers to an abnormal increase in the number of cells, which are in a normal component of that tissue and are arranged in a normal fashion with subsequent enlargement of the affected part.
Identify if the statement is True or False. If the statement is false, identify what is incorrect and correct it. Cellular response to injury depends on nature, duration and severity of injury and Consequences of injury depend on type, state and adaptability of the injured cell. The causes of cellular injury can be a depletion of ATP, mitochondrial Damage, and entry of Calcium into the cell, increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), membrane Damage, DNA damage and Protein misfolding. Intracellular Ca++ is normally low and is sequestered in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Increased cytosolic Ca++ activates enzymes such as ATPase, phospholipases, proteases, endonucleases that can lead to cell injury and death.
In adults, over 90% of all cancers are either adenomas (adenocarcinomas) or carcinomas. In fact, cancers of the skin, lung, colon, breast, and prostate all fall in these categories. Which one of the four basic tissue types gives rise to most cancers? Why might this type of tissue be so susceptible to cancer?
Cancer cells can be characterized as generic cells that perform no specialized body function

Cancer is a complicated series of diseases characterized by over-proliferation of cells within a tissue. While in some instances the primary tumor is the ultimate cause of death, in many cases the primary tumor metastasizes, or moves, through the lymph system to invade other tissues. The migration of tumor cells requires changes in the adhesion properties of the cell that allow it to move and invade more readily. There are several molecules involved in cell-to-cell connections and cellular architecture: laminins, matrix metalloproteinases, cadherins, and integrins. While mutations in genes that control the cell cycle or recognize DNA damage are the causes of tumor cell formation, tumor cell spread to other tissues may be caused by mutations in the genes the code for these extracellular proteins. The loss of cellular connections, cellular identification and signaling, and tissue structure may lead to the release of expanding tumor cells into the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Once…
Which of the following statements related to Radiation Therapy is FALSE? Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA within cancer cells and destroying their ability to reproduce. When the damaged cancer cells are destroyed by radiation, the body naturally eliminates them. ONormal cells are affected by radiation, but they are able to repair themselves. Radiation therapy is the only treatment a patient with cancer needs.
