|
How is the remaining portion of a cell that has gone through apoptosis disposed of?
|
|
After the cell breaks down, it will be broken down by a special enzyme and recycled for parts.
|
|
|
After the cell breaks down, phagocytes can easily engulf what is left without causing an inflammatory response.

|
After the cell breaks down, it will be tagged by special antibodies which will eventually lead to complement.

|
After the cell breaks down, phagocytes can easily engulf what is left and initiate an inflammatory response.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -By contrast, a cell that undergoes apoptosis dies neatly, without damaging its neighbors. The cell shrinks and condenses. The cytoskeleton collapses, the nuclear envelope disassembles, and the nuclear DNA breaks up into fragments.
Detailed explanation-2: -phagocytes surround any pathogens in the blood and engulf them. enzymes in the phagocyte break down the pathogen and destroy it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apoptotic cell death is an integral part of the cell turnover in many tissues. If, however, dead cells are not properly cleared, their content is released and induces tissue damage, as well as long-term inflammation.
