What is the difference between dysplasia and metaplasia?

In dysplasia, you have early neoplastic changes. So there you have darkly stained nucleus and chromatin material is seen in many cells. Many cells seen to be in various stages of cell division. In metaplasia the type of cells is changed from one type to another. So in case of chronic smoker, you have stratified squamous epithelium is seen, instead normal cilia-ted epithelium.
