How does atrophy occur?

Atrophy occurs when there is a reduction in the size or number of cells in a tissue or organ, leading to a decrease in its overall mass. This process can result from various factors, including decreased workload, lack of hormonal stimulation, inadequate nutrition, or diminished blood supply. It can be classified as disuse atrophy, which happens when muscles are not used, or pathological atrophy, which can occur due to disease. Over time, if the underlying cause is not addressed, atrophy can lead to significant functional impairment.
