Well, cells are very much like us, although a single unit of us, and yet they die like us. They are killed/killed ( Necrosis ) or commit suicide ( Apoptosis ) also called programmed cell death. Let’s discuss these two entities and their subtypes.
Necrosis (dead): Death is almost always caused by something outside the cell. Based on how they look under a microscope, they are classified into different groups.
- Coagulant – these are a lot like turning raw eggs into hard boiled eggs. They have a firm structure and the original structure of the cell is preserved but there is no nucleus. Most of the organs when they do not receive blood supply, usually due to a blockage in the blood supply, develop this type of necrosis.
- Liquifactive – As the name suggests, they are like a liquid because this type of death is caused by enzymes that lyse the solid into liquid. EG- abscess, pancreatitis.
- Caseous necrosis – these are like cheese. This is literally formed by combining coagulative and liquidative necrosis. These occur in Microbacterium Tuberculosis and fungal infection.
- Gangrene – these normally occur in the lower extremities. This kind of death looks like a corpse. Initially, it is dry, but if there is an infection it can also get wet.
- Fat Necrosis – That’s exactly what it’s called. The death of fatty tissue, especially of the female breasts. It is often hit by hard balls during sports or other trauma. There may be presence of a hard and painful mass in the breast.
Now let’s talk about the terrifying apoptosis, considered suicide or programmed cell death. That’s right, but it’s done to get rid of bad cells and also to satisfy some physiological needs of the body. The most prominent example of apoptosis is the spaces between the fingers, these were created by the apoptosis of cells in the place where there is now a space. Without apoptosis, we wouldn’t get our body shape, and therefore we wouldn’t get the ED Sherren song. Cells recognize damaged DNA that could cause cancer and kill themselves instead of harming us. The cells of the uterus are crushed every month to maintain the fertility of the females. It’s all that apoptosis is a good thing, sometimes destruction is needed to protect us.
PS : We believe that scientific knowledge should also be part of the general population instead of being limited to one scientific group. Please share to increase understanding of our bodies and act as a bridge between the medical fraternity and people with no medical background. Keep following us for more information.
