The answer is growth because hypertrophy means excessive growth.

cell that composes the nervous system. For example a brain, an organ
composed of thousands of neural fibers and glial cells that performs
many important organismic functions.
Neurons are specialised cells
that have dendrites, axons and terminal buttons that sends and receives
stimuli from the environment and transduces it into a meaningful
information and understand the complexities which the brain now
functions. </span>
From the sensory organ received by the
sensory neuron the message is sent to the brain and then back to the
motor neuron to the muscle or organ responsible.</span>
Answer:
Increased intracranial pressure in the adult can cause both a downward displacement of the brain stem and a herniation of the medulla oblongata through the foramen magnum, which can result in sudden respiratory arrest and death, so all options are true (option d).
Explanation:
In the adult, the cranial cavity is rigid, so an increase in intracranial pressure leads to compression of the brain structures and displacement of the brain stem through the foramen magnum, which is known as a brain herniation.
- The brain stem is a structure that is found in the lower part of the brain and continues with the spinal cord. It is formed by the midbrain, the ring bump and the medulla oblongata.
- At the level of the brain stem, there are important control centers for breathing and cardiovascular activity.
Taking into account this, it can be stated that the increase of intracranial pressure, such as those produced by trauma, cerebral edema or tumors, can produce:
- <em>Downward displacement of the brain stem</em><em>.</em>
- <em>Herniation</em><em> of the same brain stem, including the </em><em>medulla oblongata</em><em>, through the foramen magnum.</em>
- <em>Respiratory arrest and death</em><em>, by compression on the respiratory center.</em>
For this reason, all the options raised are true.
