What is the difference between coagulative and liquefactive necrosis?
Liquefactive necrosis is good for your body, especially your brain (due to the beneficial liquids produced) but coagulative necrosis is bad due to the clumping and coagulation (i.e. clotting) that occurs.Coagulation necrosis is the "acute" necrosis in which the protein fibers become denatured and everything turns into a semi-solid mess of dead tissue. Liquefactive necrosis is a more "chronic" necrosis in which the dead tissue is digested into a liquid which can then be removed by the macrophages.

What is fatty necrosis?
Fat necrosis is one of many types of necrosis. Necrosis is cell death with inflammation (different from apoptosis, which is without inflammation). Fat necrosis occurs in two forms. 1. Traumatic fat necrosis is the result of trauma. Cellular damage to fat-rich organs, such as the breasts, can lead to necrosis of the adipocytes. 2. Fat necrosis as a result of acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis. In this case, damage to the pancrease releases lipolytic enzymes into the blood, causing damage, and eventual necrosis of adipocytes.

What is the difference between apoptosis and necrosis?
Apoptosis is cell death via shrinkage, whereas oncotic necrosis is cell death via swelling. The term necrosis was used for cell death before these two different processes (shrinkage and swelling) were discovered. For this reason, it is still sometimes used to refer to both apoptosis and oncotic necrosis. However, necrosis is also sometimes used to mean only cell death via swelling. To avoid confusion, it is best to use the terms apoptosis and oncotic necrosis (and not just 'necrosis').
