Identify if the statement is True or False. If the statement is false, identify what is incorrect and correct it. 

Increased workload (skeletal muscle) or Hormone induced (pregnant uterus) are
examples of Physiologic Hypertrophy.

Dysplasia refers to the replacement of one mature cell type with a more mature cell
type. Atrophy refers to a reduced size of an organ due to a decrease in cell size and
number, can be physiologic or pathologic.

Step 1

Hypertrophy:

Hypertrophy refers to the expansion of an organ or tissue's volume as a result of the enlargement of its constituent cells. Hyperplasia, on the other hand, is characterised by cells that are roughly the same size but grow in quantity. Although hypertrophy and hyperplasia are two separate processes, they commonly coexist, as in the case of hormonally induced uterine cell proliferation and growth during pregnancy.

Atrophy:

The fading away of a component of the body, either partially or completely, is known as atrophy. Mutations, poor nutrition, poor circulation, loss of hormonal support, loss of nerve supply to the target organ, excessive cell apoptosis, and disuse or lack of exercise, as well as disease intrinsic to the tissue itself, are all causes of atrophy.

Atrophy is a reduction in the size of a cell, organ, or tissue after it has reached its mature size. Hypoplasia, on the other hand, is the shrinkage of a cell, organ, or tissue that has not reached full development.
