Detailed explanation-1: -Necrosis culminates in the uncontrolled release of antigens which lead to activation of the immune system and inflammation whereas in apoptosis cell-bound bodies are formed which are phagocytosed by neighboring cells and there is an absence of inflammation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Apoptosis is described as an active, programmed process of autonomous cellular dismantling that avoids eliciting inflammation. Necrosis has been characterized as passive, accidental cell death resulting from environmental perturbations with uncontrolled release of inflammatory cellular contents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Apoptosis, in contrast to necrosis, is not harmful to the host and does not induce any inflammatory reaction.
