1. Hyperplasia

   Hyperplasia (from ancient Greek ὑπέρ huper 'over' + πλάσις plasis 'formation'), or hypergenesis, is an enlargement of an organ or tissue caused by an increase in the amount of organic tissue that results from cell proliferation. It may lead to the gross enlargement of an organ, and the term is sometimes confused with benign neoplasia or benign tumor.Hyperplasia is a common preneoplastic response to stimulus. Microscopically, cells resemble normal cells but are increased in numbers. Sometimes cells may also be increased in size (hypertrophy). Hyperplasia is different from hypertrophy in that the adaptive cell change in hypertrophy is an increase in the size of cells, whereas hyperplasia involves an increase in the number of cells.

1. hyperplasia

   Hyperplasia is a medical term referring to the increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue. These changes often occur in response to stress or damage, leading to a higher tissue mass. It's a common response of the body for healing, but in some cases, it may result in disease or malignancy. It's important to note that hyperplasia is different from hypertrophy, where the tissue or organ increases in size due to the enlargement of existing cells, not the formation of new ones.
