passive hyperemia
Enlargement of the heart to offset a valvular defect is
pathological hypertrophy
More than the normal total volume of blood in the body is a condition known as
plethora
Conditions that make a body more susceptible to disease without actually causing it are called
predisposing conditions
Replacement of dead tissue cells with connective tissue cells is a process called
repair

syphillis
A benign tumor commonly found on mucous membranes
a polyp
