Do Both hyperplasia and hypertrophy cause an increase in the size of a tissue or organ?

Yes, both hyperplasia and hypertrophy lead to an increase in the size of a tissue or organ, but they do so through different mechanisms. Hyperplasia involves an increase in the number of cells, while hypertrophy refers to an increase in the size of existing cells. These processes can occur independently or together, depending on the specific physiological or pathological conditions involved.


Identify an organ in humans that is capable of compensatory hypertrophy?

A compensatory hypertrophy is a increase of size of a organ or tissue, which is made so it can do additional work or perform the work of the destroyed tissue or an organ. This is similar to the regeneration of body parts. For example, if the tail of a lizard breaks apart from its body a new one will take its place and this is called regeneration. In both the process of compensatory hypertrophy and regeneration a organism tries for the growth of a body part such as a organ or tail. A organ that is capable of compensatory hypertrophy in a human includes the kidney.
