-- Posted by jamesish at 4:27 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 That cells commit suicide? An example would be when you get sun burned.  When you peel, those are all cells that have terminated themselves. Why?  Because they don't want to turn into a cancer. So think of your cells of your skin as potential suicide bombers. -- Posted by Doubleshift at 4:28 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 Lol But at least they do it for the best. -- Posted by draino at 4:28 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 that's nice to know. -- Posted by blacksash7022 at 4:28 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 that is nice to know seeing as how the cells that compose the epidermis are dead cells anyway.... -- Posted by jamesish at 4:29 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 Quote: from blacksash7022 at 7:28 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 that is nice to know seeing as how the cells that compose the epidermis are dead cells anyway....

I knew this and its very interesting.  One thing I didn't pick up on is where do they lysosomes go to?  Wouldn't a white blood cell just eat it up?  Or will another cell eat it up? -- Posted by HiRyo at 4:43 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 I just learned that in biology! -- Posted by obvious child at 7:30 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 Apoptosis Welcome to Biology. -- Posted by jamesish at 7:40 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 Quote: from obvious child at 10:30 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 Apoptosis Welcome to Biology. They didn't talk about this in my high school biology.  Im learning a whole bunch in college anatomy and such.  I just found this interesting.  And yes, thats the name of it.  I couldn't remember it.  And just didn't google it. -- Posted by dragonking at 8:29 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 That's like dying to save me then which is good.
