missed 1st base mechanic

Sorry - but i seemed to have gotten confused on the proper mechanics for a runner missing home plate.
1. Runner overruns plate with no play at the plate. (no signal)
2. Runner with a play at home slides past the plate (no touch) and no tag by catcher? Runner gets up and heads for dugout. (mechanics?)

Thanks for input in advance.

Thanks for input in advance.

1) Since there's no play, there's no signal. This is whether the runner touches the plate or not.

2) No signal. Since the runner is heading for the dugout, the defense need only appeal the out.
