Pathology

There are many categories of this mechanism of cell death. Liquefaction and coagulation are two examples of those categories.

• Apoptosis

• Necrosis

This mechanism occurs through one of two pathways:

one that affects that mitochondria, and one that activates receptors on the cytoplasmic membrane of the cell.

• A. Apoptosis

• B. Necrosis

The size of the cell decreases during this mechanism.

• A. Apoptosis

• B. Necrosis

Gangrene is one example of this mechanism of cell death.

• Apoptosis

• Necrosis

This mechanism is described as a process of cellular self-destruction that eliminates old and detective cells.

• PAPULE

• MACULE

• PAPULE

• PUSTULE

It is a sharply circumscribed serous fluid-filled elevation more than 1cm in diameter

• NODULE

• BULLAE

It is the loss of the superficial layer of epithelium

• ULCER

• EROSION

It is the deposit of highly fibrous tissue subsequent to ulcer or injury.
