  • this is a type of cell death associated with metabolism of DNA and the cell in a certain way

  • the result is nice packages that macrophages can eat

  • necrosis is just a cell going “blphhhhhh,” leaving crap all over the place

  • in your thymus, you make cells that potentially have autoimmune capability. these inappropriate T cells die via apoptosis

  • there are many distincctions between coagulation necrosis and apoptosis


  • in apoptosis, DNA is broken up into specific lengths

  • in necrosis, the DNA of the cell is one smear upon electrophoresis, meaning there is no specificity to the degradation of cell DNA
