Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain necrosis and its causes and types in general terms, distinguish it from programmed cell death, describe how it is recognised and managed as documented in medical sources, and route personal questions to clinicians.

The death of cells or tissue in a living organism caused by injury, infection, toxins, lack of blood supply or other damage, producing necrotic tissue that may affect muscle, bone, intestine, skin or other organs, as distinct from programmed cell death; necrosis is a clinical sign and pathological process treated by addressing the cause and removing dead tissue, and this entry gives general information, not personal medical advice.

What it is for: Death of tissue in a living body.

It can be explain causes and types; distinguish from apoptosis; describe recognition and management generally; route personal questions.

Distinguishing features

Uncontrolled cell death

Multiple causes

Inflammatory

Clinical significance

What it looks like

Dead tissue, often discoloured, in a living organism.

How it is recognised

Tissue death from damage

Not programmed

Apoptosis is orderly programmed cell death
