one example of necrosis is the blackening of the skin on or around the bite site of locsosiles reclusa(brown recluse spider). the area will become extremely tender and most if not all of the skin and tissue will die, hense the term necrosis. if not treated, the site will almost always increase in size in relation to the amount of venom, and the particular area where the bite occured.

Liquefactive necrosis is good for your body, especially your brain (due to the beneficial liquids produced) but coagulative necrosis is bad due to the clumping and coagulation (i.e. clotting) that occurs.Coagulation necrosis is the "acute" necrosis in which the protein fibers become denatured and everything turns into a semi-solid mess of dead tissue. Liquefactive necrosis is a more "chronic" necrosis in which the dead tissue is digested into a liquid which can then be removed by the macrophages.

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.
