Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When cervical cells become cancerous,they have undergone dysplasia,a change in the size and shape of cells.
The cells have changed; they have not been replaced,so metaplasia is not the correct choice.
The cells have not decreased in size; therefore,atrophy is incorrect.
The cells have not increased in size; therefore,they have not hypertrophied.
