DAY1 Flashcards
Not cancerous; removeable; do not return; do not spread to other parts of the body
BENIGN TUMORS
Cells that grow out of control; invade nearby tissues; spread to other parts of the body;
MALIGNANT TUMORS
Move from primary cancer site to secondary site; keeps the name of the original cancer
METASTASES
Definitive criteria for malignancy
METASTASES
Malignant tumor of lymphoid tissue
LYMPHOMA
Malignant tumor of fat tissue
LIPOMA
Benign tumor of adrenal medulla
PHEOCHROMCYTOMA
Tumor that contains cells from other parts of the body
TERATOMA
Lining, transport, secretion, absorption ex: GI tract, Hollow organs, skin
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
Support, strength, elasticity ex: bone, tendon, fat
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
movement ex: cardiac, smooth, skeletal
MUSCULAR TISSUE
information synthesis, communication, control ex: brain, spinal cord, nerves
NERVOUS TISSUE
cancer from epithelial cells
CARCINOMA
cancer from connective tissue (malignant)
SARCOMA
cancer from muscular tissue (smooth)
LEIOMYOMA
