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

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 %


What will happen if the percentage of red blood cells is higher or lower from the normal value?

the baby will die!


Is radiation more harmful to normal cells than to cancerous cells?

Radiation can harm both normal and cancerous cells, but because cancerous cells are often more sensitive to radiation, they may be more likely to be damaged or killed by radiation therapy. Normal cells can repair themselves more effectively than cancerous cells, which helps protect them from the effects of radiation.


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).


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.

Is a resting heart rate of 100 normal?

I actually went to the dr yesterday and my resting heart rate was over 100. That is not normal and she recommended that I have my thyroid checked. You definitely need to see a dr if you have a high heart rate.


Is 88bpm healthy?

The noun "percentage" is singular, so you would say "The percentage is (high, low)."The word forms the normal plural "percentages", which would use are.Example : "The percentages are higher than normal."


What is the normal rate for a 18 year old?

There is a normal RANGE for pulse rates in the young adult. It is usually between 60-80, resting (but can be higher during activity, of course).


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.


What is the Normal pulse for an adult?

The normal pulse rate for an adult is 60 to 100 beats per minute. In general, people that are physically fit have lower resting pulse rates, while people that are less physically fit tend to have a bit higher resting pulse rates.
