Tamm-Horsfall protein is secreted by what
Is secreted by renal tubular epithelial cells
evidence of epithelial regeneration
Apoptosis is an important process during
organogenesis
Definition atrophy
Atrophy is associated with a reduction in cell number and cell size
Definition hypoplasia
failure to attain normal size during development
