What is the difference between apoptosis and necrosis?
Apoptosis is cell death via shrinkage, whereas oncotic necrosis is cell death via swelling. The term necrosis was used for cell death before these two different processes (shrinkage and swelling) were discovered. For this reason, it is still sometimes used to refer to both apoptosis and oncotic necrosis. However, necrosis is also sometimes used to mean only cell death via swelling. To avoid confusion, it is best to use the terms apoptosis and oncotic necrosis (and not just 'necrosis').
What is the medical term meaning tissue cell death in skin?
The term for cell death is cell necrosis while the term for tissue death is tissue Necrosis.The word Necrosis is derived from Latin word Nekros which means corpse.
What is fatty necrosis?
Fat necrosis is one of many types of necrosis. Necrosis is cell death with inflammation (different from apoptosis, which is without inflammation). Fat necrosis occurs in two forms. 1. Traumatic fat necrosis is the result of trauma. Cellular damage to fat-rich organs, such as the breasts, can lead to necrosis of the adipocytes. 2. Fat necrosis as a result of acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis. In this case, damage to the pancrease releases lipolytic enzymes into the blood, causing damage, and eventual necrosis of adipocytes.
What is necrosis comonly known as?
Unplanned cell death, opposite of apoptosis.
Does brain trauma injury produce necrosis or apoptosis brain cell damage?
Brain trauma can lead to cell death, necrosis. Apoptosis is planned cell death, like under fetal development, so never leads to this option.
What is the difference between necrosis and infarction?
Necrosis means that a cell or a group of cells die due to injury (heat, pressure etc), diseases (infections), or other pathological state. The term "infarction" essentially is synonymous with "ischemic necrosis" which means necrosis (cell death) from the lack of blood (ischemia). Ischemia can be caused by the occlusion of the arterial supply or venous drainage for a particular tissue.
What is the scientific name for necrosis?
The scientific name for necrosis is "necrosis." It is a type of cell death that is characterized by the premature death of cells in living tissue due to external factors like injury, infection, or toxins.
What is the medical term meaning cell death due to tissue injury?
necrosis
Does sickle cell anemia cause decayed teeth?
I have sickle cell and scapular necrosis occurred because the none in my joints became soft from the many crises I had. My teeth also was affected and severe decaying occurred. My dentist said it was because of the necrosis and sickle cell.
What is the difference between necrosis and ischemia?
necrosis is death of cells with underlying/ or death of cells that cause inflammation. necrosis has to have an underlying injury. ischemia is decreased blood supply to tissues/ cells due to obstruction/ constriction of vasculature - indeed, this is an injury, and can lead to necrosis of cells if not resolved quickly! Note that apoptosis is programmed cell death - i.e. nucleus control is involved, and there is no inflammation - it is clean cell death! this is awesome.
If you injure a CNS nerve tissue what cell would you likely find if you take a sample of this tissue?
Infarction, which means cell necrosis.
Is cell autolysis bad?
cell autolysis may be result of inhury and unwanted when it is termed necrosis or it may be programmed when its called apoptosis
