Necrosis is the death of cells or tissue in the body due to injury or disease. It is a natural process that can occur after trauma, infection, or inflammation. The first step of necrosis is the disruption of the cellular membrane, which is the outer layer of the cell. This disruption can be caused by the release of enzymes, toxins, or other damaging substances, or by mechanical injury such as crushing, freezing, or blunt force. Once the cellular membrane is disrupted, the contents of the cell are exposed to the environment, leading to the death of the cells. This process can lead to inflammation and the formation of scar tissue, depending on the extent of the damage. There may also be a release of toxic substances into the area, which can cause further damage to the surrounding cells and tissue.
