Abstract

Cell death is continual in multicelluar organisms. During development, vestigial organs and structures appear and disappear. Webbing between our fingers, which is necessary for them to form properly, disappears between the 6th to 8th weeks of fetal development through programmed cell death. Cells typically have limited life spans. Neutrophils, for example, survive for only hours to days after being released into the circulation. Moreover, injury and diseases cause cells to die.
