Metaplasia
Barret Esophagus is a risk factor of

Myositis ossificans
Meaning and type of growth adaptation
Inflammation of the skeletal muscle that resultas in METAPLASTIC production of bone within the skeletal muscle
Types of mesenchymal tissues

X rays differences between myositis ossificans and osteosarcoma
In myositis ossificans the corticals of the bone are healthy and there is a space betwwne the bone and the bone mass whereas in the osteosarcama the mass comes from the bone.
Cause of dysplasia

Meaning of hypoplasia
decrease in cell production during embryogenesis
Example of aplasia
unilateral renal agenesis
