Enzymes called caspases aid in programmed cell death, known as apoptosis. Apoptosis occurs when a cell is at the end of its normal reproductive life or when it has been damaged. At this time, the cell receives information that initiates a series of events that lead to its own destruction. After apoptosis, white blood cells engulf the degraded cell fragments.
