Is the percentage of cells in the resting stage is higher in cancerous cells than normal cells?

No, cancer cells are more active than normal cells. Cancer cells are always dividing at a faster rate than normal cells.


What are cells that are not cancerous and have no affect on health called?

Non-cancerous cells that do not affect health are referred to as normal cells. These cells function properly within the body and perform their intended roles without causing harm or disrupting the normal functioning of tissues and organs.


How does the structure of the normal cells compare to the structure of the cancerous cells for each of the slides you viewed?

Normal cells typically exhibit organized structures, uniform size, and regular shape, adhering to specific functions within tissues. In contrast, cancerous cells often display irregular shapes, varied sizes, and disorganized arrangements, indicating uncontrolled growth. The nuclei of cancerous cells are usually larger and more prominent, with abnormal chromatin patterns, reflecting genetic instability. Overall, the structural differences highlight the loss of normal cellular regulation in cancerous cells.


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).


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

Cancer cells have higher mitotic index because they have a mutation in the DNA so they reproduce uncontrollably and therefore divide faster which means they have a higher mitotic index. ex. In a normal lung tissue, % of cells dividing is 5% while in a cancerous lung the % of cells divding is 25 %

Why are sunbeds unhealthy?

It is like standing next to a star. Sunbeds expose you to ultraviolet radiation and this can ionise your cells and damage them as it passes through your body. This is potentially harmful if too many cells get damaged as they can become cancerous and cause a tumour which can kill you.

How does Radiology treat cancer cells?

Radiation therapy uses high-energy particles or waves, such as x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or protons, to destroy or damage cancer cells. ... But cancer cells grow and divide faster than most normal cells. Radiation works by making small breaks in the DNA inside cells.

What are radioactive implants?

Radioactive implants are devices that are placed directly within cancerous tissue or tumors, in order to deliver radiation therapy intended to kill cancerous cells.


What are the key differences between cancerous cells and normal cells in terms of their growth and behavior?

Cancerous cells grow uncontrollably and can invade nearby tissues, while normal cells grow and divide in a regulated manner. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body, a process called metastasis, which normal cells do not do. Additionally, cancer cells can evade the body's immune system and resist cell death signals, unlike normal cells.
