Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When cervical cells undergo dysplasia, there is a change in their size, shape, and organization. Metaplasia is the reversible replacement of one mature cell type. The cells have not decreased in size; therefore, atrophy is incorrect. The cells have not increased in size in response to stimuli; therefore, they have not hypertrophied.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Necrosis is the sum of cellular changes after local cell death. Cellular adaptation is a reversible, structural, or functional response to both normal or physiologic conditions and adverse or patho-logic conditions. Calcification is an accumulation of calcium salts. Apoptosis is an active process of cellular self-destruction.
