Detailed explanation-1: -Apoptosis occurs normally during development and aging and as a homeostatic mechanism to maintain cell populations in tissues. Apoptosis also occurs as a defense mechanism such as in immune reactions or when cells are damaged by disease or noxious agents (Norbury and Hickson, 2001).
Detailed explanation-2: -In adults, apoptosis is used to rid the body of cells that have been damaged beyond repair. Apoptosis also plays a role in preventing cancer. If apoptosis is for some reason prevented, it can lead to uncontrolled cell division and the subsequent development of a tumor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apoptosis is a highly preserved apparatus for destruction of eukaryotic veins. This allows an organism, through an organized disintegration process, to remove undesired and defective cells that have the potential to avoid an unwanted, inflammatory response[2].
