16
Q

sarcoma

A

neoplasm from connective tissue spread quickly, highly malignant

17
Q

all malignant

A

leukemias and lymphomas

18
Q

factors of normal cell growth and function

A

genes, contact with other cells, growth promoting or growth inhibiting substance

19
Q

benign Neoplasm growth

A

tumors retain some normal structure, function
Usually encapsulated easy to excise
Slower growing than malignant neoplasms
Tumors can push on nerves causing pain
Could cause over or under-secretion of hormones
Tumors in the brain could cause death

20
Q

Malignant neoplasm

A

Do not have normal growth structure and function
Structure is haphazard and inconsistent
No differentiation and no specialized function
Not encapsulated; crab-shape appearance
Metastasized to distant sites
Very fast growing and needs a lot of nutrients & O2
angiogenesis occurs

21
Q

angiogenesis

A

new growth of blood vessels

22
Q

angiogenesis causes normal cells to be deprived and nutrients which causes

A

cachexia

23
Q

cachexia

A

loses weight and appears thin, frail, and weak

24
Q

hyperplasia

A

too much growth (normal cells)

25
Q

Neoplasm

A

new growth (abnormal cells)

26
Q

hyperplasia occurs in response to

A

Stimulus

27
Q

when stimulus is removed

A

tissue goes back to normal
