STEPS OF APOPTOSIS PATHWAYS

Intrinsic

Extrinsic

Extrinsic pathway is activated by signalling molecules binding to death receptors on the cell's plasma membrane
This leads to cutting the 'procaspases-8', which activates it turning it into 'caspase-8'
'Caspase-8' cuts 'caspases-3,-6 and -7' which activates them
These cut up the cell into it's differnet parts, forming packages
Phagocytic cells come and engulf the packages
