Study Notes
Cell Death and Injury
- The term for the process of programmed cell death is apoptosis.
- Uncontrolled cell death can result in tissue damage and disease.
- The term for the reactions that occur within cells in response to injury is cellular stress responses.
- The term for the study of the causes of cell injury is pathology.
- The key distinction between apoptosis and necrosis is that apoptosis is a controlled, regulated process, whereas necrosis is an uncontrolled, accidental cell death.
Explore the concepts of cell injury, necrosis, apoptosis, and subcellular responses. Learn about the differences between apoptosis and necrosis, and the results of uncontrolled cell death.
