Atrophy
Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body. Causes of atrophy include mutations (which can destroy the gene to build up the organ), poor nourishment, poor circulation, loss of hormonal support, loss of nerve supply to the target organ, excessive amount of apoptosis of cells, and disuse or lack of exercise or disease intrinsic to the tissue itself. In medical practice, hormonal and nerve inputs that maintain an organ or body part are said to have trophic effects. A diminished muscular trophic condition is designated as atrophy.
Atrophy is the general physiological process of reabsorption and breakdown of tissues, involving apoptosis. When it occurs as a result of disease or loss of trophic support due to other disease, it is termed pathological atrophy, although it can be a part of normal body development and homeostasis as well.
Normal development
Examples of atrophy as part of normal development include shrinking and the involution of the thymus in early childhood, and the tonsils in adolescence. In old age, effects include, but are not limited to, loss of teeth, hair, thinning of skin that creates wrinkles, weakening of muscles, loss of weight in organs and sluggish mental activity.
Atrophy (band)
Atrophy is a thrash metal band formed in Tucson, Arizona.
Career
Atrophy, originally named Heresy, was formed in 1986 by Chris Lykins, James Gulotta, and Brian Zimmerman. Tim Kelly and Rick Skowron later joined the band.
In 1987, the band produced two cassette demos and were subsequently picked up by thrash metal label, Roadrunner Records. They recorded two albums: Socialized Hate in 1988 and Violent By Nature in 1990. They toured the U.S. and Europe with bands like Sacred Reich, Forced Entry and Coroner. Following the European tour, Lykins left the band. Atrophy was subsequently dropped by their record label.
The band reformed in 2015.

Atrophy
by: Red Jumpsuit ApparatusDon't tell me that this is your last chance to change
'Cause if you do, then you would be telling a lie but
I warned you, what could happen if you should decide
To live your life from nine to five
And I mourn you for the detail that is left unsaid
Is a reminder of the time you bled
Return to days when you knew
You still you felt alive
Reveal the way you felt
When you could look inside
They sold you everything you need to fix you up
And you feel good now but you can't wake up
They found a way to reassure you
(That everything would be okay)
Reach out today now I implore you to remember who you are
Return to days when you knew
You still you felt alive
Reveal the way you felt
When you could look inside
So you felt it but you don't know
Why you can't explain at all?
Why you felt it? 'Cause you don't know
No, you don't know
Break the walls between building atrophy
Causing all your problems to recede
Break the walls between
(Break the walls between)
Causing all your pain
(Causing all your pain)
You'll never learn
Return to days when you knew
You still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt
When you could look inside
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
