Abstract: There are a few different views on the classification of programmed cell death (PCD)， for example， PCD are classified into apoptosis， paraptosis， oncosis and autophagy. With the further research on PCD， the old classifications of PCD are found unreasonable， and the categories of PCD mechanisms are partly overlapped. This is because researchers have their limitations. Thus， it is necessary that we should recognize the pathways of PCD all over again. According to the advancements， in this paper， PCD were mainly divided into seven categories: they were classic apoptosis， autophagy， apoptotic PCD， necrotic PCD， paraptosis， mitotic catastrophe and senescence.
