4) Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation correct
answer Controls the transport of materials from the outside
fluids to within
Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and
muscle cells
Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation
Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis
Exam 1 correct answer Dry gangrene occurs when blood
supply is slowly reduced to an area. The area is dehydrated and
becomes dark or black in color. Commonly seen in patients with
diabetes. It is not very painful, but tissues eventually die.

area is cold and swollen, with no pulse. This can occur from
trauma. Bacteria is involved and is very painful. It has the
appearance of pus, because it looks wet. There is also a foul smell
Cell proliferation is the process in which proliferating cells become
more specialized cell types. True or False
Exam 2 correct answer False Answer: cell differentiation
