study of suffering
the study of disease that can cause abnormalities in the structure or function of various organ systems -the study of structural and functional consequences of injurious stimuli to the cells, tissues, and organs and entire organism
study deviations from normal structure, physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology
PATHOLOGY
Pathology is divided into
General pathology
Special or Systemic Pathology
study basic reactions of cells and tissues to abnormal stimuli that underlie all diseases
General Pathology
examines specific responses of specialized organs & tissues to stimuli
Special or Systemic Pathology
pattern of the body’s response to some form of injury that causes a deviation from or variations of normal condition
Disease
4 Aspects of the disease process:
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphologic Changes
Clinical Significance Functional Derangement
Cause of disease
Etiology
mechanism of disease development or sequence of events leading to disease. the response of the body to the stimuli
Pathogenesis
structural alterations induced in cells and organs of the body
Morphologic Changes
functional consequences of the morphologic changes
Clinical Significance/ Functional Derangement
4 CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS (observable changes)
Clinical Features manifested as symptoms and signs of disease
Course of disease
Prognosis of disease
ETIOLOGY-disease cause
2 General classes of ETIOLOGY
Genetic Hereditary
Acquired
affects environmentally disease
Genetic Hereditary
have an effect on genetic disease (IVMT)
acquired
IVMT
Infectious
Vascular (aneurysm)
Metabolic (diabetic Mellitus
Traumatic
