Restoration of blood circulation has no bearing on hyperplasia of the uterine
endometrium. This is because hyperplasia of the uterine endometrium is caused by an
increase in the uterine endometrial cells brought on by excessive estrogen.
Hyperplasia of the uterine endometrium is caused by an overproduction of estrogen.
Hormone therapy to counter the effects of excessive estrogen helps reverse the
condition.
Surgical removal of the hyperplastic uterine endometrium is an irreversible treatment
option.

undergoes infarction and cell death within minutes.
Skeletal muscles can tolerate lack of blood circulation for a few hours.
Cardiac ischemia occurs when the heart muscle or myocardium receives insufficient
blood flow. In such condition, cell death can occur within minutes but generally not as

Necrosis is the death of living tissue due to ischemia, physical injury, radiation, or
chemicals. It is not reversible.
In multicellular organisms, cells that are no longer needed or are a threat to the
organism are destroyed by a programmed cell death called apoptosis. An example of
this process is when an embryonic, paddle-shaped hand forms indentations to shape the
individual fingers.
Infarction is the death of tissue as a result of continued disruption of blood supply. For
example, when there is a lack of adequate coronary artery blood supply to the
myocardial muscle, ischemic necrosis occurs.
Gangrene is a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur when tissues suffer
prolonged ischemia and undergo necrosis. Clostridium perfringens thrives on the
decaying necrotic tissue and causes gangrene.

Stem cells are capable of developing into any specialized tissue and organ and are,
therefore, used to treat and regenerate injured tissues and cells. However, it is not the
most prevalent method.
Therapeutic cloning involves harvesting of embryonic stem cells and performing
nuclear transfer on these cells. With this method, it could be theoretically possible for
individuals in need of organ transplant to obtain exact tissue matches of their organs.
However, this is still a nascent technology with extensive ongoing research.
Reproductive cloning is the creation of a genetic duplicate of an existing organism.
Currently, reproductive cloning is performed among livestock and other animals like
cats, mice, rabbits, and mules.
Transplantation is the most prevalent method to replace permanently injured tissues or
organs, such as kidneys. It is a complex process involving many stages that include
solicitation of donors, harvesting of organs, matching of donor organs and recipients,
surgical implantation, and interventions to avoid organ rejection.

Apoptosis is also known as programmed cell death. In multicellular organisms, cells
that are unwanted or a threat to the organism are eliminated through a programmed
sequence of events. Too little or too much apoptosis is dangerous.
Endothelial cell injury acts as an initiator of arteriosclerosis. The most significant
injurious agents of the endothelial cells are hypertension, diabetic hyperglycemia, free
radicals, persistent secretion of angiotensin II, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Necrosis is cell death caused by ischemia, physical injury, chemicals, or radiation,
which is irreversible and may adversely affect neighboring tissues or the organ as a
whole.
Infarction is the death of tissue due to a lack of oxygen or absence of blood supply to
tissues.

can have a serious negative effect on cardiac health.
This is incorrect. Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that causes peptic ulcers in the
gastrointestinal system.
This is correct. LDL cholesterol accumulates to form atherosclerotic plaque along the
artery walls and directly impacts cardiac health.
This is correct. Endothelial injury causes inflammation, which in turn causes diminished
vasodilatory capacity of the artery. This results in LDL cholesterol deposition and clot
formation in coronary arteries, resulting in a detrimental effect on cardiac health.
This is incorrect. Acid reflux irritates the lower esophageal cells, causing inflammation of
the esophagus. Prolonged irritation and lack of treatment could lead to a condition known
