⩥ Reliability. Answer: •the extent to which an observation, when
repeated, gives the same result
⩥ Validity. Answer: the extent to which a measurement tool measures

division, such as the epidermis, intestinal epithelium, and glandular
tissue.
⩥ Physiologic Hyperplasia. Answer: hormonal (pregnancy) and
compensatory (partial removal of organ)
⩥ Hormonal Physiologic Hyperplasia. Answer: breast and uterine
