  1. 5. Some adult cells are so complex and highly differentiated (often because they have fused with other cells) that they cannot divide to replenish damaged tissue and these are called:
  2. 7. this is when a cell becomes highly specialised with specific form and function
  3. 8. This is the name of cells which divide rapidly and complete a cycle of cell division (G1-->M) every 16-24 h.
  4. 9. Cells which are in G0 phase but when stimulated can re-enter the cell cycle and divide are called:
  5. 13. These abnormal cells are immortal can divide indefinitely
  6. 14. This is when cells divide to increase cell number and increase the size of tissue as an adaptive response
  7. 16. Cell death in tissues which cannot replace lost static (terminally differentiated) cells this type of loss results in _________ cellular atrophy
  8. 17. This is an reversible adaptive response and is an acquired change in differentiation status

  1. 1. The process of maturation of the progenitor cells to replace the functional cells of the tissue is called:
  2. 2. Proliferating progenitor cells do not have an infinite capacity to divide. As the cells reach the limit (50-60 cell divisions) they then become:
  3. 3. This is the only possible adaptive response for static cells to increase size of tissue
  4. 4. Adult stem cells can self renew via mitosis but these cells are usually not in cell cycle, this non-dividing "resting' status is referred to as:
  5. 6. This is the failure of a tissue to reach normal size during development
  6. 7. This is a consequence of abnormal differentiation and abnormal cell-to-cell communication, these labile cells however can only replicate a finite number of times
  7. 10. The proliferating daughter cells produced from stem cells are called:
  8. 11. Stable cells which provide the key function in a tissue are called:
  9. 12. This process is used to selectively delete cells to decrease cell number as an adaptation to decreased functional requirements
  10. 15. Proliferation of these daughter cells can increase the number of cells in adult tissues to replenish lost cells. This amplification process leads to:
