Summary Introduction

To explain: The normal mechanism of cellular growth control.

Introduction: A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of living things. It is typically microscopic, and possesses cytoplasm and nucleus enclosed within a membrane. An increase in the volume or population of the cells is referred to as cellular growth. The growth and proliferation of the cells are necessarily controlled in order to maintain a balance between the birth and death rates of the cell.
