Gangrene comes in two forms:
1. Dry, and
2. Wet.
**Dry gangrene** occurs when the blood supply to the tissue is cut off. The area becomes dry, shrinks, and turns black. The main causes of dry gangrene include diabetes, arteriosclerosis, trauma, frostbite, injury, or tobacco addiction.
On the other hand, **wet gangrene** occurs if bacteria invade this tissue. This makes the area swell, drain fluid, and smell bad. Wet gangrene mainly results from venous obstruction associated with infections.

Necrosis is the death of cells in your body tissues. When the cells in your tissues die, it can affect many different areas of your body, including your bones, skin, and organs. Some complications of necrosis include leakage and skin irritations, high output resulting in fluid and electrolyte imbalances, or stoma necrosis; late complications include parastomal hernia, stoma prolapse, and stoma stenosis. In the case of avascular necrosis (AVN), when the bone does not get enough oxygen, the bone tissue can die. When there is not enough blood reaching the bone, the joint can narrow and the bone can collapse.

Cell degeneration: Degenerative definition is a pathological condition that causes cells to change in structure and function. Injury is mainly in the cytoplasm of the cell. These lesions are reversible when the pathological stimuli are reduced or eliminated. There are 3 basic types of degeneration:
Granular Degeneration: : is a pathological condition in which the cells are enlarged with water, and small granules appear in the cytoplasm of the cells, which become red when stained with hematoxylin-eosin. (H.E.). The functional activity of degenerative cells is reduced. This is a non-specific lesion, common in the parenchymal cells of the viscera (hepatocytes in heart failure, renal tubular cells in toxicity).
Hydropic degeneration : Closely related to granulomatous degeneration. Cells swell, water accumulates in the endoplasmic reticulum sacs, forming unequal light cavities. Dehydration is common in visceral parenchymal cells (liver cells, renal tubular cells) due to lack of oxygen or toxicity. Lipoic degeneration: A condition in which fat droplets appear in the cytoplasm of cells. Fat degeneration is manifested by large, round, light cavities in the cytoplasm of cells when stained with H.E… Fatty degeneration is common in hepatocytes, especially in the central lobules, due to metabolic disorders. alcoholism, after hepatitis).
Cell necrosis: Definition: Necrosis is the death of cells and tissues that occurs in a living organism. There are 5 main types of cell necrosis:
Coagulative necrosis: The necrotic tissue has solidification of intracellular and extracellular fluids, the necrotic tissue becomes solid, yellow-gray in color. Coagulation necrosis is common in the extremities and fingers and is often caused by vascular disease (arteritis embolism). Coagulation necrosis is also common in solid organs such as the heart and liver (myocardial infarction). Liquefactive necrosis: The necrotic tissue is liquefied, soft, in the necrotic tissue or with bacterial invasion and many inflammatory cells. Water necrosis is seen in cerebral infarction (cerebral infarction): the brain cells lose shape, liquefy, the brain becomes soft and eventually becomes a fluid-filled cyst. Water necrosis is also seen in myocardial infarction when there is an infection. Caseous necrosis: The necrotic tissue is yellowish-white, friable, and fragile (resembling bean paste). Podiatric necrosis is common in pulmonary tuberculosis and lymphadenopathy. The fovea of necrosis in tuberculosis is called pox necrosis. Podiatric necrosis can also be seen in fungal diseases (histoplasmosis). Fat necrosis: The area of necrosis is white like a candle because the active lipolytic enzymes convert fat into glycerol and free fatty acids. Fat necrosis in acute pancreatitis: the pancreas is swollen, the pancreatic duct is blocked, the pancreatic juice destroys the pancreatic tissue and the fatty tissue around the pancreas, forming candles in the abdomen. Fibrinoid necrosis: The area of necrosis forms a pinkish (eosin-stained) substance resembling fibrin. Fibrous necrosis is common on the serosa surface (inflammation of the pleura, pericardium, and fibrin peritoneum). The surface of the inflamed necrotic membrane is rough or sticky (adhesions to the pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum).
Gas gangrene is most commonly caused by bacteria called Clostridium perfringens. Bacteria gather in an injury or surgical wound that has no blood supply. The bacterial infection produces toxins that release gas and cause tissue death.
