Question

question 1 of 5
which of the following relate to a change in cell size? select all that apply.
metaplasia
hyperplasia
atrophy
dysplasia
hypertrophy

Explanation:

• Metaplasia: Change in cell type, not size.
• Hyperplasia: Increase in cell number, not size.
• Atrophy: Decrease in cell size (due to reduced function, e.g., muscle disuse).
• Dysplasia: Abnormal cell growth (morphology, not size change).
• Hypertrophy: Increase in cell size (e.g., muscle growth from exercise).

So atrophy and hypertrophy relate to cell size change.

Answer:

atrophy, hypertrophy
