If I can remember correctly, the term is
metaplasia which is the term used when
specialized cells formation are changed to simple cells
formation since the reproduction rates have to match that
of damaging rates. Forming specialized cells take a rather longer
time than simple cells formation. Once this is prolonged,
dysplasia steps in whereby the cells that
are formed are abnormal (certain characteristic seen are
dyskariosis, enlarged nucleus, hyperchromatin and increased
mitochondrial activities). When this is not intervened, it becomes
neoplastic (cancerous)...
whats this epithelial, this metaplasia, this
dysplasia, etc.. some patients may not be science or biology
students so they would be clueless ma.
btw, ur explanation later was better..but can be improve upon
Aiyar... look at the bolded words... the meanings are there...
but I doubt they managed to pick it up... anywayz... leave this to
oxford...
