Cells can react by modifying themselves slightly and thus adapt to the injury (such as hypertrophy, hyperplasia, atrophy, and metaplasia, hydropic swelling, and fatty change). Such adaptations may be reversible. Cells can also react by becoming permanently altered and then living a new "lifestyle" (such as radiation changes in cells). They may also react to injury by being overwhelmed, and unable to continue life, and so they die. When cells die, they can do so in a pre- and proscribed...
