Necrosis

  • Cell swelling
  • Loss of Nucleus by

    pyknosis Karyorrhexis Karyolysis

Apoptosis

Falling of leaves in greek

  1. Shrinkage of Cell
  2. Fragmentation of Cell into small pieces Apoptotic Bodies
  3. ENgulfed by macrophage without inflammation

Apoptosis Initiators

  1. Intrinsic
