A)cellular hyperplasia
B)loss of ciliated cells
C)cellular displasia
D)elevated gas transport
E)increases in basal cell number and thickening of epithelium

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elevated gas transport is not a typical cellular change that occurs during lung cancer. The other options are known to occur in lung cancer. Cellular hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells, loss of ciliated cells affects the ability to clear mucus and foreign particles from the lungs, cellular dysplasia is the abnormal growth and development of cells, and increases in basal cell number and thickening of epithelium are changes that occur in the lining of the bronchi and bronchioles. However, lung cancer can impede gas transport by causing airway obstruction or reducing the effective surface area for gas exchange.
