A
⩥Pathogenesis. Answer: manner in which disease(s) develop
⩥Pathology. Answer: the branch of medicine that studies the
characteristics, causes and effects of disease; basically it is the study of
disease
⩥Pathological Anatomy. Answer: the study of structural changes in the
body brought about as a result of disease. There are two subdivisions of
pathological anatomy
⩥Gross Pathology. Answer: studies the structural changes brought about
by disease as seen with the naked eye
⩥Microscopic Pathology / Histopathology. Answer: studies the
structural changes brought about by disease and is seen with a
microscope
,⩥Surgical Pathology. Answer: the study of tissues that have been
removed surgically. This is done on a living tissue. Think biopsy
⩥Clinical Pathology. Answer: the study of excretions, secretions, and
various other body fluids for the purpose of diagnosing a disease.
Basically, it is the laboratory diagnosis of disease. Think of blood tests;
urine analysis; pap smears; serology/immunopatholgy (the examination
of body proteins)
⩥Physiological pathology. Answer: studies the changes in function
brought about by disease or changes in function during a disease
⩥Medico-legal or forensic pathology. Answer: branch of pathology that
deals with studies for legal purpose. It encompasses autopsies
(necropsies, post mortem examination) the removal of specimens from

⩥Disease. Answer: the abnormal performance of certain physiologic
functions
⩥Disease. Answer: a dynamic series of changes that may end in:
recovery; permanent injury or even death
⩥Dr. Rudolf Virchow. Answer: the "father" of cellular pathology is
responsible for this doctrine
⩥Lesion. Answer: any recognizable change in anatomy or structure of
the tissues that can be caused by disease. It is a pathologic change in an
organ or tissue.
⩥Diagnosis. Answer: the determination of the nature and cause of a
disease. The identification of a disease or condition by scientific
evaluation of signs and symptoms, history, lab results and procedures
