Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that is important in embryologic development, homeostasis, and involution of organs or tissues deprived of hormonal stimulation or growth factors. It is also a regulated form of cell death that is directed by signaling pathways in response to certain types of injury. In apoptosis, nuclear chromatin is condensed and fragmented, but the nuclear envelope is maintained. The cytoplasmic volume decreases due to water loss and protein condensation, but most of the organoids remain intact. The second stage of the process is characterised by the blebbing of the plasma membrane, which eventually fragments and the appearance of so-called ______ bodies that contain nuclear fragments, organelles, and condensed cytosol enveloped by these membrane fragments. The plasma membrane that surrounds ______ bodies prevents the inflammation occurring with necrotic cell death but does express factors to attract phagocytes and stimulate heterophagy. Pyroptosis (Pro-inflammatory cell death) resembles apoptosis in that it is receptor-mediated, but the differences are that it involves plasma membrane rupture, leakage of cytoplasmic contents, cell vacuolisation and inflammatory reaction similar to necrosis. In fact, pyroptosis is generally a primary response to infectious organisms. Pyroptosis is induced in cells of the innate immune system, such as monocytes, marcrophages, and dendritic cells in the presence of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) expressed on microbial pathogens or by cell-derived DAMPs. Necroptosis (Pro-inflammatory Programmed Necrosis) is a receptor-induced cell death that occurs as a defence mechanism against neurodegenerative processes and viral infections when the cell cannot enter apoptosis. Thus, necroptosis is a cell defense pathway that is activated under conditions in which apoptosis is inhibited. The similarities of necroptosis with apoptosis are receptor-mediated and that it occurs in individual cells, but morphologically it is more similar to necrosis (cell swelling, cytoplasmic rupture, outgrowth of cytoplasmic contents, induces inflammatory reaction)

Study Notes
The Cytoskeleton: Actin Filaments, Intermediate Filaments, Microtubules, and Centrioles
- Actin filaments contribute to the contractile ring during cell division in mitosis
- Actin filaments mediate endo- and exocytosis processes and cellular movement
- Actin, in combination with filamin and α-actinin, forms a flexible mesh in the cytoplasm
- Intermediate filaments provide structural support for the cell and are least soluble components of the cytosol
- Intermediate filaments do not disassemble and reform, constituting permanent structural elements of the cell
- Microtubules are elongated protein cylinders composed of tubulin dimers
- Thirteen protofilaments combine to form the wall of the microtubule
- Microtubules are impermanent and can be rapidly assembled and dismantled
- Microtubules contribute to the spatial organization of organelles and intracellular vesicular transport
- Microtubules are involved in chromosome attachment and movement during mitosis and meiosis
- Centrioles are involved in cell division and the formation of cilia and flagella
- Centrioles occur in pairs, are made up of nine microtubule triplets, and originate from another centriole
Centrioles and Cilia Structure and Functions
- Centrosomes consist of two centrioles (mother and daughter) connected by an interconnecting fiber, surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM).
- During the cell cycle, both centrioles duplicate, with the mother centriole duplicating faster and acquiring additional appendages, becoming a new mother centriole.
- Centrosomes act as microtubule-organizing centers during mitosis and direct microtubule formation.
- Cilia are motile projections in animal cells, consisting of the axoneme, basal plate, basal body, and striated rootlets.
- The axoneme is a structure with nine peripheral microtubule doublets and two single central microtubules, with dynein arms and central pair sheath.
- The basal plate marks the transition from the axoneme to the basal body, which is structurally similar to the centriole and supports cilia.
- Ciliary movement requires ATP, tubulin, dynein, and nexin, involving an effective stroke and a slow recovery stroke.
- Cell differentiation involves transformations enabling cells to carry out specific functions and occurs in interphase, with an antagonism between division and differentiation.
- Cell classification based on differentiation degree includes stable, expanding, and labile cell populations.
- Cell death is the irreversible cessation of all vital cell manifestations, with different types such as necrosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis.
- The term necrosis refers to cell death due to irreversible cell injury, leading to oncosis and eventual rupture of cell membranes.
- Detailed study of cell death types is part of the General Anatomical Pathology discipline.

- Cell differentiation involves transformations enabling cells to carry out specific functions and occurs in interphase, with an antagonism between division and differentiation.
- Cell classification based on differentiation degree includes stable, expanding, and labile cell populations.
- Cell death is the irreversible cessation of all vital cell manifestations, with different types such as necrosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis.
- The term necrosis refers to cell death due to irreversible cell injury, leading to oncosis and eventual rupture of cell membranes.
- Detailed study of cell death types is part of the General Anatomical Pathology discipline.
