The increased size of the cells is due to the synthesis and assembly of additional intracellular structural components.HyperophyResult of increased production of cellular proteinsHyperplasiaResult of growth factor-driven proliferation of mature cellsAtrophy Results from decreased protein synthesis and increased protein degradation in cellsMetaplasiaResult of a reprogramming of stem cells that are known to exist in normal tissuesRef: Robbins and Cotran Pathologic; 9th edition; Chapter 2; Cellular Responses to Stress and Toxic Insults: Adaptation, Injury, and Death; Page no: 34
