the study of the functional, biochemical, and morphological alterations of the body fluids, cells, tissues and organs during disease.
|
|
|
disease
|
the impairment of optimal function and homeostasis of an organism or its parts as a result of structural and chemical alterations caused by injury

diagnostic, experimental, toxicologic, clinical

|
|
diagnostic pathology
|
works closely with the clinician in the diagnosis of diseases utilizing biopsy or autopsy specimens
|

|
experimental pathology
|
works to characterize the mechanisms of disease and to find ways to prevent or treat diseases
|
|
|
clinical pathology
|
works closely with clinicians in the interpretation of body fluids and cells taken from living patients.
|
|
|
General pathology
|
study of the mechinisms common to most or all disease processes irrespective of the organs or systems involved.
|

|
Morgagni
|
father of pathologic anatomy
described diseases of the heart and blood vessels in the 17th century. |
|
|
Rudolph Virchow
|
the 19th century founder of modern pathology--idea that the body is an organization of cells, each suited for specific functions. diseases results from injury or dysfunction in specific populations of cells. (along with Henle, Schwann, Muller)
|
|
|
Cellular pathology
|
begun by Virchow, many diseases can also be classified as being in the realm of molecular pathology
