Which of the following does not contribute to atrophy of cells?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atrophy of cells is caused by a decrease in cellular function, which can occur due to loss of innervation, aging, and inadequate nutrition. However, vasodilation and increased blood supply would actually promote cellular growth and function, rather than atrophy. Therefore, D is the correct answer as it does not contribute to atrophy. Vasodilation/increased blood supply actually helps to prevent atrophy by increasing the availability of nutrients and oxygen to the cells. The other choices (loss of innervation, aging, inadequate nutrition) can all contribute to atrophy of cells.
