|
When a cell undergoes apoptosis:
|
cytokines produced by phagocytes protect surrounding cells by reducing inflammation.
|
|
it swells until it bursts.
|
|
it is as a result of being seriously damaged by chemical or mechanical trauma.
|
|
its mitochondria are destroyed along with all other organelles.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokines have important roles in chemically induced tissue damage repair, in cancer development and progression, in the control of cell replication and apoptosis, and in the modulation of immune reactions such as sensitization.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytic cells plays a significant role in the resolution of inflammation, protecting tissue from harmful exposure to the inflammatory and immunogenic contents of dying cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -As discussed, microbe internalization by phagocytes is accompanied by an inflammatory cascade and cytokine secretion.
