A common cellular response to injury and disease is the deposition of _____ within and between the cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyaline deposition is a common response to injury and disease, and is characterized by the accumulation of a homogenous, pink-staining substance within and between cells. Calcium deposits may also occur in some cases, but they are not as common as hyaline deposits. Keratin and RBCs are not typical cellular responses to injury and disease. Hyaline is a type of extracellular matrix that can accumulate in response to injury or disease. It appears homogenous, glassy, and pink when viewed under a microscope. Calcium deposits may also accumulate in areas of injury or disease but are not typically referred to as hyaline. Keratin is a protein found in skin, hair, and nails and is not typically associated with injury or disease deposition. RBCs may be present at a site of injury, but they do not accumulate within or between the cells as a response to injury or disease.
