Necrosis
Necrosis = “Normal” cell death
- Pyknosis: shrinkage and compaction of the nucleus - Karyorrhexis = Fragmentation of the nucleus
- Karyolysis = Dissolution (lysis) of the nucleus
Apoptosis
Apoptosis = Programmed cell death
- Initiated by external and/or internal (DNA damage) signals
- Predetermined sequence of events
- Minimal disturbance to neighbouring cells
