Answer
process that provides body with means for replacing cells as needed

Answer
process by which proliferating cells are transformed into specialized cell types, which determines
their function
5. What kind of cells remain incompletely differentiated throughout life?
Answer
stem cells

9. G2 phase
Answer
cell prepares for mitosis (cell division)
10. M phase
Answer
mitosis
11. G0 phase
Answer
resting phase (becomes mitotically dormant)
12. what are entry into and progression thru cell cycle phases controlled by?
Answer
proteins called cyclins and their inhibitors

nutrition/O2/en- ergy
evade the immune system more resilient to normal cells

, produce enzymes that can lyse through their current organ cavity
enzymes to get into the blood/lymph system withstand pressure and new environment avoid the
immune system/WBCs
23. where do surviving cancer cells go when they leave the lymph nodes?

Answer
primary neoplasm
25. What is another name for the metastatic site?
Answer
secondary neoplasm

ratio of dividing cells/ G0 cells (resting)
27. What types of cancers have a high growth fraction?
Answer
aggressive cancers

Answer
tis- sues that have a high growth fraction (aggressive cancers)
29. What is the doubling time (TD) of a tumor?
