ATROPHIED

adj. wasted away, degenerated

v. waste away, degenerate (Medicine)

For the American thrash metal band, see Atrophy (band) Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body. Causes of atrophy include poor nourishment, poor circulation, loss of hormonal support, loss of nerve supply to the target organ, disuse or lack of exercise or disease intrinsic to the tissue itself. Hormonal and nerve inputs that maintain an organ or body part are referred to as trophic.
