Apoptosis: Programmed Cell Death
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Apoptosis is a controlled, signal-triggered process of cell death that dismantles a cell without releasing damaging molecules into surrounding tissue.
Show
Cells between a developing embryo's fingers undergo apoptosis on schedule, letting the digits separate before birth.
Watch for
Apoptosis is a controlled, internally triggered process — it is not the same as necrosis, uncontrolled cell death from injury.
