Human Physiology – Case 3

Apoptosis 

Originally, apoptosis was described as a distinct type of cell death based on a series of ultrastructural features that occurred in a specific sequence at TEM observation (Figure 1). The sequence comprises nuclear and cytoplasmic condensation, cell fragmentation, and phagocytosis (Hacker, 2000; Kerr et al. 1972).
