Unlike apoptosis, programmed cell death, necrosis occurs when a cell dies prematurely due to trauma, infections or toxins. This causes an inflammatory response, as the cells burst and contents are relased [1].Necrosis is not reversible and when the large area of the tissue dies due to inefficent blood flow to it this results in gangrene.[2]
