of excessive proliferation
(eg. an estrogen secreting ovarian tumor causing endometrial epithelial cells to multiply)

Hypertrophy correct answers Increase in cell size
(eg. if aortic valve is diseased, then the left ventricle enlarges b/c of increased muscle
mass needed to pump blood into the aorta)
