Question

match the term with its correct description.

dysplasia
neoplasm
neoplasia
benign tumor

change to size, shape, and
organization of cells as a
result of stimulus
changes in cell structure that
occur in an uncontrolled
growth pattern
composed of cells confined
to the local area
results when cell division
does not occur in the usual
pattern

Explanation:

Each term is matched to its standard medical definition:

1. Dysplasia refers to abnormal cell size/shape from a stimulus.
2. Neoplasm is an abnormal growth from unregulated cell division.
3. Neoplasia describes the process of uncontrolled abnormal cell growth.
4. Benign tumors are localized, non-spreading cell masses.

Answer:

• Dysplasia: change to size, shape, and organization of cells as a result of stimulus
• Neoplasm: results when cell division does not occur in the usual pattern
• Neoplasia: changes in cell structure that occur in an uncontrolled growth pattern
• Benign tumor: composed of cells confined to the local area
