MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html).

Definition:a form of coagulative necrosis that develops in ischemic tissue, where the blood supply is inadequate to keep tissue viable, in the absence of superimposed microbial infection; can be due to peripheral artery disease or acute limb ischemia; the affected body part is dry, shrunken, and dark reddish-black and can fall off (autoamputate) if not removed surgically
Comment:The term dry is used only when referring to a limb or to the gut; in other locations, this same type of necrosis is called an infarction, such as myocardial infarction {xref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangrene#Dry_gangrene"}
