Which of the following organ manifests liquefactive necrosis?
Correct Answer: Brain
Description: Liquefactive necrosis occurs in situations in which enzymatic breakdown is more prominent than protein denaturation or in organs that lack a substantial protein-rich matrix (e.g., lipid-rich organs such as the brain). Coagulative necrosis is the type of necrosis in which protein denaturation is more prominent than enzymatic breakdown. It may occur in any organ.
