Our dead cells are eaten by other cells in our body.
Analysis
The statement is supported by multiple references that describe the process of dead cells being consumed by other cells in the body, particularly by phagocytes. These references explain mechanisms such as efferocytosis and apoptosis, which involve the clearance of dead cells. The insights provided indicate that this is a normal and necessary process for maintaining cellular health and preventing issues like blood clots. Therefore, the statement is accurate and well-supported by the available information.
Sources
Apoptosis is an ongoing process. It rids your body of old, damaged cells so that younger, healthier cells can take their place
Apoptosis and entosis both eliminate cells, and also have an after-death function to transfer nutrients from dead cells to engulfing cells.
The engulfing of dead cells by professional phagocytes, a multistep process known as efferocytosis allows multicellular organisms to recycle cellular components.
Every second in the human body, 1 million cells die and are devoured by other cells.
If cells are no longer needed, they commit suicide by activating an intracellular death program.
Those inside our bodies are scavenged by phagocytes - white blood cells that ingest other cells.
