What would happen if a cell dies
  • 1 answers

Amar Kumar 8 years, 3 months ago

Cell death are of two types: Necrotic and apoptotic.

Necrotic means the cell dies due to some sort of outside stimulus. Mechanical stress, lack of oxygen, etc. This is a more or less unregulated process, and so the cell bursts open and releases its cytoplasm, possibly causing damage around it. It's usually not entirely unregulated.

Apoptotic means that the cell was programmed to die, because it was part of a phase now gone in embryonic development, because it has been overproduced, because there aren't any growth factors around, etc.The cell starts dividing itself up into smaller "blebs", which can be digested by macrophages and the like without any tissue damage. It's an incredibly clean process, compared to necrosis.
