What Is Hyperplasia?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Hyperplasia or also known as hypergenesis is basically a general term that is used when there is a supplement in the shape of the cells of an appendage or tissue causing it to boost in dimension. This could occur due t many reasons such as increased demand, chronic inflammatory response, hormonal dysfunctions, or neoplasia. It generally does not cause any kind of harm but it may occur due to a particular tissue. An example of this would be the breast that begins to lactate due to pregnancy. It is during this time that the breast divides and begins to increase in number in order to start the breast feeding process.

    Hyperlasia can also be artificially introduced into the human body by injecting hormones such as IGF-1 and human growth hormone.
