What does tumor mean in medical terms?
Oncogenic means pertaining to oncogenesis, or formation of a tumor.
What happens when the cells reproduce out of control?
When cells reproduce out of control, it can lead to the formation of a mass of cells called a tumor. If the tumor is benign, it is not cancerous and typically does not spread to other parts of the body. However, if the tumor is malignant, it is cancerous and can invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis.
What is the process of egg formation called?
The process of egg formation in females is called oogenesis. It involves the maturation and development of immature egg cells (oocytes) in the ovaries.
What tumor cells travel to another part of the body and form a new tumor what is the process called?
Metastasis
What term describes the process by which a tumor creates its own blood supply?
the process through which the tumor supports its growth by creating its own blood supply is called angiogenesis
What is the process for the formation of a cell called?
Mitosis
What is the meaning of angiogenesis?
The inhibition of formation of blood vessels feeding the tumor and contributing to tumor growth.
The formation of gametes in females?
The process is called Gametogenesis.
What is the process of formation of growth called?
Die time
What is the process by which a tumor attracts and redirects blood vessels to keep it supplied with O2 and nutrients?
The process by which a tumor attracts and redirects blood vessels is called angiogenesis. Tumors release signaling molecules to promote the growth of new blood vessels towards the tumor, ensuring a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients to support its growth and progression. This process is crucial for tumor survival and proliferation.
What is the process of soil formation called?
The process of soil formation is called pedogenesis. It involves the physical, chemical, and biological processes that lead to the development of soil from weathering of rocks and organic materials over time.
When pieces of cancerous growth break off from a mass and travel to other body regions it is called metastasis?
Yes. The question refers to a process called metastasis - where a mass of cancer cells, called a tumor spreads to other regions of the body. This occurs when a small region of the tumor breaks away from the main tumor and is carried by the circulation to a different region in the body. Once the smaller piece settles at a different location, it can begin growing and establish a new tumor at this site
