An increase in the number of new cells in an organ or tissue that
is reversible when the stimulus for production of new cells is
removed is termed
a) Hyperplasia.
Hyperplasia occurs as cells multiply and are subjected to increased
stimulation resulting in tissue mass enlargement.
b) Hypertrophy.
Hypertrophy is an increase in size and bulk of tissue that does not
result from an increased number of cells.
c) Atrophy.
Atrophy refers to reduction in size of a structure after having come to
full maturity.
d) Neoplasia.
With neoplasia, the increase in the number of new cells in an organ or
tissue continues after the stimulus is removed.
