What provides a defense against abnormal cells and pathogens inside living cells?

The immune system of the body provide a defense against abnormal cells and pathogens inside living cells. Generally this results into rise in temperature of the body. Therefore, fever is the indication of having war against abnormal cells and pathogens.


How do cytotoxic T cells kill infected or abnormal cells in the body?

Cytotoxic T cells kill infected or abnormal cells by releasing toxic substances that puncture the cell membrane, triggering cell death.


Immunity uses helper cells and killer cells to identify and destroy abnormal cells?

Helper cells (e.g. T helper cells) play a role in activating the immune response by coordinating and stimulating other immune cells like killer cells (e.g. cytotoxic T cells) to target and destroy abnormal cells. Killer cells directly eliminate infected or abnormal cells by inducing programmed cell death. This coordinated effort helps the immune system effectively rid the body of threats.


What cells are enlarged with darkened nuclei and abnormal chromatin?

Cells that are enlarged with darkened nuclei and abnormal chromatin are typically indicative of cancer cells. These abnormal features can be seen in cancerous cells due to uncontrolled cell division and impaired DNA replication and repair mechanisms. It is important to further evaluate these cells for proper diagnosis and treatment.


What disorder that is characterized by abnormal replication of cells lead to the formation of tumors?

Cancer is the disorder characterized by abnormal replication of cells that can lead to the formation of tumors.

What does out of normal range mean on a prostate test?

Range of abnormal cells present in the prostate. It is not unusual for abnormal cells to come and go throughout a persons lifetime, it is only because we are observing that we see these potential issues,. Not all abnormal cell development becomes cancer.


Which cells directly attack abnormal cells in the body?

Cells of the immune system, such as T cells and natural killer cells, directly attack abnormal cells in the body. They recognize markers on the surface of abnormal cells and release chemicals to destroy them.


Indicate what develops when abnormal cells divide and create other abnormal cells?

When abnormal cells divide and create other abnormal cells, it can lead to the formation of a tumor or mass of cells. This can result in the growth of cancer or other diseases if left unchecked. Additionally, these abnormal cells may also spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis.


Been called back after treatment for abnormal cell results on a cervical smear Doctor says he is unsure of where cells have come from patient has had breast cancer treatment what does this mean?

Abnormal cells from other organs don't usually present themselves in a PAP test. But they can. If patient has abnormal cells on PAP test and has history of breast cancer, a pathologist can determine if cells are cervical cells or breast cells. If breast cancer has migrated to cervix, this means the staging of breast cancer would increase. Most likely this isn't the case, and the abnormal cells are cervical related.


Are all bone marrow stem cells producing abnormal cells when someone has leukemia or just some of them?

In leukemia, a small proportion of bone marrow stem cells become malignant and start producing abnormal cells. These abnormal cells then grow uncontrollably, crowding out normal blood cells. The majority of bone marrow stem cells remain healthy and continue to produce normal blood cells.


What does abnormal cells mean?

That means your cells are not normal


Is leukemia an increase or decrease of white blood cells?

Leukemia is an increase in the number of abnormal white blood cells in the bloodstream. These abnormal cells do not function properly and can crowd out normal white blood cells, leading to a weakened immune system.


What is the abnormal development or growth of cells?

The abnormal development or growth of cells is called tumor or neoplasm, which can be benign or malignant. In the case of cancer, the cells divide uncontrollably and can invade surrounding tissues.


What is the meaning of non-neoplastic findings?

Non-neoplasm findings is an abnormal mass of tissue that was not formed as a result of neoplasia. A neoplasm tumor is an abnormal growth of cells or an abnormal division of cells.

How is cancer classified?

Cancer is classified as an abnormal growth of cells. This may happen because of a mutation in the cells DNA. When the cells grow abnormal, it usually grows too fast.


Can abnormal cells come back after you have the treatment for them?

Yes, there is a possibility that it will grow again and metastasize that is why you need to regular check up even you are in remission .
