Death of living cells that result from ischernic tissue injury is called:

Correct answer: B. Necrosis

  • A. Autophagy
  • B. Necrosis
  • C. Inflammation
  • D. Apoptosis
  • E. Amitosis

Explanation

The death of living cells that results from ischemic tissue injury is typically referred to as "necrosis." Ischemic tissue injury occurs when blood flow to a specific area of the body is severely reduced or completely blocked, leading to oxygen and nutrient deprivation in that tissue. As a result, the affected cells cannot maintain their normal functions, and they eventually die. Ischemic tissue injury leading to necrosis can have serious consequences in various medical conditions, including heart attacks, strokes, and tissue damage caused by blocked blood vessels.
