Apoptosis the different stages?

Apoptosis is a programmed cell death process involving several stages: initiation (external signals trigger apoptosis), execution (activation of caspase enzymes that degrade cell components), and demolition (cell shrinks and forms apoptotic bodies for phagocytosis). Finally, the apoptotic cells are cleared away without inducing inflammation.
