cells do not die in the same way.

it is harder to detect apoptosis than mitosis, due to the later deriving in two
cells in lieu of no-cell like apoptosis.
there are two types of cell death :
Intrinsic or cell autonomous (by the cell itsself)
Etrinsic or cell non autonomous ( death is triggered by other cells or their
microenviroment)
!rogrammed cell death is intentional whereas necrosis is the process which
entails acute in"ury or physical damage so a cell dies.
programmed cell death is neccessaary for multicellular organisms both in
their development and their interactions with the outer world.
!#$ can be used for scuplting: In the uterus, fetus have webs between their
%nger, which are elimanated through !#$.
http:&&www.youtube.com&watch'v()*+,-./lo0E1feature(youtu.be
!#$ can be used to delete structures no longer necessary like mamary
glands2 in seual dimorphism: 3hen the fetus does not possess a gender,
structures like the *4llerian and 3ol5an duct eist to assist in chores related
with ecretion during fetus development. If the fetus turns out to be a female,
then the *4llerian duct becomes the oviduct and thee uterus, along with the
elimination of the wol5an ductt. In males, *4llerian ducts are degenerayed
through !#$, the 3ol5an ducts become the vas deferens and the seminal
vesicles
!#$ is also used to ad"ust the number of cells: In fetuses, there is a vast
ecess of neurons that must be eliminated in order to form the neuronal
circuits and thus, it is also needed as a way of enabling brain functions.
!#$ helps in the process of eliminating harmful agents such as virus or
bacteria: . cells are produced in the .hymus, and the in %rst glance , are
underdeveloped cells. .he only way to test their e6ectiveness is through the
dendritic cells which have self antigens. If a . cell binds strongly to those
antigens, then it must be eliminated through !#$. .he remainders survive
and mature into fully-developed .-cells.
3hen 789 rays hit our epidermis layer, some carbon-polyhydrates aromatic
compunds forms inside the cells which produces a distortion on the $:;. It
can be %ed through % pathways, but if not then !#$ is induced.
3hen !#$ goes south abnnormal developments occur. If there is a high
number of cells deleted through !#$ in neuronal circuits, then normal
fuctioning is no longer posible (i.e hungtington or parkinson)

apoptosis( &;potosis&
#ells separates from the tissue and it neirbhouring cells and shrinks, due to
cytoplasm and chromatine condensation and then fragmentates then are
engulfed by macrophages( !hagocytosis) through lysosomes.

bcl-G does not promote cell proliferation but apoptosis
growth factors do not promote tumorigenesis in bcl-G, after removing growth
factors cell do not undergo apoptosis.bcl-G blocks apoptosis.
