When a cell dies due to its age it often undergoes self-death, called apoptosis. Apoptosis is a form of controlled cell death where the cell breaks off into small pieces called apoptotic bodies. These bodies are then ingested by macrophages(or microglia in the brain, sometimes referred to as the brain macrophage). Once phagocytized into a phagosome within the macrophage, a lysosome will join the phagosome forming a phagolysosome. Within the phagolysosome the pH drops to around 3 and the enzymes become activated and digest the apoptotic body and recycle its nutrients. Any non-digestable material is stored in the macrophage and is often called lipofuschin.

When nerve cells in the nervous system cease to divide they are in?
G0 phase
Why living body do not decompose?
Living bodies do decompose after death due to the breakdown of cells and tissues by microorganisms. The body's natural processes that maintain cells and tissues cease to function after death, allowing bacteria and enzymes to break down the body. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and presence of oxygen can affect the rate of decomposition.
What happens to your cells when you have to much water?
It will cause sodium levels to be insufficient in in the blood (because it dilutes it) As well as Magnesium (thats levels are also maintained by urinating). Your cells will shift as a result of an unbalance of electrolytes. As they begin to swell, some will rupture or cease to function due to the osmotic pressure.
What happens if cells become to confluent?
If cells become too confluent, they may stop growing or dividing due to contact inhibition, a phenomenon where cells cease dividing when they come into contact with neighboring cells. This can affect experimental outcomes in cell culture studies. Additionally, overcrowding can lead to nutrient and oxygen deprivation, compromising cell health and survival.
Group of similar cells that perform a similar function?
tissues are group of cell that perform a specific similar function.
What happens if you don't have cells in your body?
Without cells, the body would cease to function as they are the basic building blocks responsible for carrying out all essential functions, such as metabolism, growth, and repair. Ultimately, without cells, life as we know it would not be possible.
What happens if plant cells do not function properly?
it dies
Why is homeostasis importnt to orgnism?
Homeostasis is important because the cells in all living organisms only function properly within a very narrow range of conditions. If this optimum range is not maintained these cells cease to function as they need to.
Cells are copied using excels copy function what happens yo the data in the copied cells?
the data of copied cells is distributed to the two daughter cells during prophase
Why does your heart have a lot of veins?
The heart is like any muscle in your body, it needs oxygen and nutrients to function, and it gets them through blood. The heart is a very metabolically active muscle as it is working all the time, always in motion, therefore it requires a lot of arteries and veins to make sure enough oxygenated blood gets through to the cells. If the heart cells are deprived of oxygen, they cease to function and die, which is what happens in a "heart attack"; something blocks an artery and blood doesn't reach the cells that depend on it.
What happens to most of the air you breath in?
it is used in the body. It it transported around to all the cells so they can function.
When nerve cells in the nervous system cease to divide they are in what stage?
When nerve cells in the nervous system cease to divide, they are in the G0 stage of the cell cycle. This is a quiescent phase where the cells are not actively dividing but are still functioning.
When nerve cells in the nervous system cease to divide they are in .?
G0 phase
When nerve cells in the nervous system cease to divide they are in?
G0 phase
What happens to the relationship between the surface area and volume of the cell as it gets larger?
if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small. That may be the effect but the question as worded is purely arithmetical. Surface area is proportional to the square of the linear dimensions; volume to the cube.
Why cells are mostly so small?
Actually, some are large enough to be seen without a microscope. The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger.If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membranefast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small.
What does ''specialization of cell '' mean?
when cells are designed to do a specific function
