How and when does a human cell decides to divide mitotically. How it responds to apoptosis and necrosis? Do these cell deaths trigger mitosis so that the cellular count is maintained in the body?
Mitosis is the process of cell division in which one cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process is important for growth, repair, and maintenance of an organism.
Apoptosis is a programmed cell death that occurs when a cell is no longer needed or has become damaged beyond repair. It is a natural process that helps maintain balance and proper functioning of the body's cells.
Necrosis is the death of cells or tissues due to injury, infection, or lack of blood supply. Unlike apoptosis, necrosis is not a programmed process and can be detrimental to the overall health of an organism.
Mitosis is a process of cell division, while apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while apoptosis results in the removal of damaged or unnecessary cells. Additionally, mitosis is a controlled process, whereas apoptosis is triggered by various internal and external factors.
Some examples include cancer, which is caused by uncontrolled cell growth, and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, which are caused by the death of brain cells. Autoimmune diseases, infections, and heart diseases can also be linked to abnormal cell death.
