There are two major types of cell death, necrosis and apoptosis.
1. Compare and contrast the two major types of cell death, necrosis and apoptosis.
2. There are three main pathways of apoptotic cell death. Describe the pathways including induction, cells involved, main chemical mediators (pro-and antiapoptotic) and receptors and outcomes
Ans 1)
Necrosis:-
i) Necrosis is known to be a kind of cell death where the cell lies in an ultimate way due to some uncontrolled external factors.
ii) Necrosis is caused by factors external to the cell or tissue such as infections and toxins which result in untegulated digestion of cell components.
iii) Necrosis causes loss of membrane integrity and random degradation of DNA.
Apoptosis:-
i) Apoptosis is defined as a predifined suicide cell where the cell destroys itself maintaining a smooth functioning of the body.
ii) Apoptosis is a naturally occuring programmed and targetted cause of cellular death.
iii) Membrane blebbing occurs in apoptosis but integrity of the membrane is maintained and chromatin condensation as well as non random degradation of DNA.
Ans 2)
The three main pathways of apoptopic cell death are:- Intrinsic pathway, extrinsic pathway and perforin/granzyme pathway.
Intrinsic pathway:-
The stimuli that initiate the intrinsic pathway produce intracellular signals they may act in either a positive or negative fashion. Negative signals involve absence of certain growth factors and poaitive signals consits of cytochrome C. It also includes Apoptosis inducing factor, inhibitots of apoptosis proteins and caspacase 3.
Extrinsic pathway:-
Extrinsic initiation pathway includes receptors of TNFR (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor). It includes flice like imhibitory protein, caspase 8 and cell death receptors - TNFR 1, CD95 and TRAILR 1 plus TRAILR 2.
Perforin Pathway:-
One of the main aspect of adaptivr immune system is recognizing and eliminating target cells through the induction of apoptosis involving CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes and Natural Killer cells. It also includes killer cell immunoglobulin receptor and killer cell lectin like receptors.

Cell death is a regulated event within the lie cycle of the organism. In the meantime, apoptosis and necrosis are both used to describe death of a cell. How are they different? Why would this distinction be relevant when we talk about cells? Compare and contrast Mitosis versus Meiosis. Include details about homologous chromosomes, division phases that might occur, and any unique events that may occur during the two different types of cell division.
tired and brain isnt working anymore , pls help True or false 1) - L Apoptosis can occur after the ATP harvesting capability of a cell is affected. 2) - Intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways converge with activation of caspase 3. The intrinsic apoptotic pathway requires activation of cell surface receptors called death receptors. 4) or Apoptosis is required for the normal development of many organs. Hypoxia tends to cause increase Ca++ levels which in turn activate enzymes that break...
Compare and contrast innate and adaptive immunity by explaining how they differ is the following 2 questions (I-III). Please answer in complete sentences. How do these 2 types of immunity differ is the timing of their response? How do the receptors as innate and adaptive immune cells differ in what they recognize? Please describe what the receptors on immune cells recognize and what the receptors on adaptive immune cells recognize. Complement proteins normally circulate in the blood and provide early...
