Flashcards

Necrosis

The death of cells due to irreversible injury, characterized by enzymatic digestion of dead cellular elements.

Apoptosis

A vital cellular process that eliminates unwanted cells in a controlled manner.

Coagulative necrosis

A type of necrosis where the outline of dead cells is preserved, but the tissue is firm.

Liquefactive necrosis

A type of necrosis where dead cells disintegrate, and the tissue liquefies.
