Question
Chapter 4, Problem 2KQ
Summary Introduction
Damage to the cell is referred to as cellular injury. It is manifested as morphological and functional changes toward stress. Stress occurs due to internal and external environmental changes. The damage could be reversible or irreversible and it could be due to chemical, physical, and biological factors.

- Whether the statement "Stem cells, being stem cells, are by definition the same in all tissues" is true or false.arrow_forward] Mr. X, aged 85, was recently diagnosed with a particular type of brain tumor and was referred to Dr. Y, chief of surgery at the nearby university hospital, for further evaluation. This type of tumor is benign in 60% of cases and is malignant in the other 40% of cases. Mr. X’s remaining lifetime will depend on the type of tumor (benign or malignant) and on the decision whether or not to remove the tumor. The table below shows the estimates of Mr. X’s remaining lifetime according to the most up-to-date information known about this type of tumor. Tumor Leave tumor Remove tumor Benign 8 5 Malignant 1 5 Dr. Y could perform exploratory surgery before deciding whether or not to remove the tumor to assess the status of the tumor better. Exploratory surgery indicates a benign tumor 75% of the time if the tumor is indeed benign. The surgery is known to indicate a malignant tumor 65% of the time if the tumor is indeed malignant. Exploratory surgery itself is dangerous: there is a 5% chance…arrow_forwardDraw a schematic diagram of a normal cell and the changes in reversible and irreversible injuryarrow_forward
