Is fibrocollagenous tissue danger?
Fibrocollagenous tissue is a normal type of tissue found in the body that provides structure and support. It is not inherently dangerous. However, in certain medical conditions like fibrosis or scarring, excessive deposition of fibrocollagenous tissue can lead to issues such as stiffness or decreased organ function.
What does the acronym FCCT in pathological tissues stand for?
Fibrocollagenous Connective Tissue ! FOund in normal tissues too
What are the key differences between normal tissue and cancerous tissue?
Normal tissue and cancerous tissue differ in several key ways. Normal tissue follows a controlled growth pattern, while cancerous tissue grows uncontrollably. Normal cells have specific functions and structures, while cancer cells often lack these specialized features. Additionally, normal tissue responds to signals that regulate growth and division, whereas cancerous tissue ignores these signals. Finally, normal tissue typically remains localized, while cancerous tissue can invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body.

Which type of tissue would have a higher mitotic index normal tissue or cancerous tissue?

When cells are not responding to normal controls over growth and division they form tissue mass known as?
When cells are not responding to normal controls over growth and division, they can form tissue masses known as tumors. Tumors can be either benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
What is the biology definition for Tumor?
Cancerous. The opposite of benign
