The increased size of the cells is due to the synthesis and assembly of additional intracellular structural components. Hyperophy refers to an increase in the size of cells, which results in an increase in the size of the affected organ. Cells capable of division may respond to stress by undergoing both hyperplasia and hyperophy. The hyperophied organ has no new cells, just larger cells.
Occurs due to synthesis and assembly of additional intracellular components.
There is an increase in the size of the cells.
Cells capable of division respond to stress by hyperophy and hyperplasia.
