Induced by cytokines, growth factors and other environmental signals.

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a form of cell death that is generally
triggered by normal, healthy processes in the body. Necrosis is the premature death
of cells and living tissue. ... Caused by factors external to the cell or tissue, such as

Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific questions to be answered, please specify the question number or post that question only.

Metaplasia is more likely to arise in tissues that are constantly exposed to harmful environmental factors. Because of their contact with air and food, the pulmonary system (lungs and trachea) and the gastrointestinal tract are common sites of metaplasia. As a result, the epithelial structure of the tissue adapts through metaplasia, resulting in distinct morphological alterations. The type of metaplasia is determined by the local tissue.
