Mesoderm
Endoderm
Will develop into the following cells:
the Lung Cells (Alveolar Cell)
Thyroid Cells
Digestive Cells (Pancreatic Cell)
Mesoderm
• Will develop into the following organ cells:
the Cardiac Muscle Cells
Skeletal Muscle Cells
Tubule Cells of the Kidney
Red Blood Cells
Smooth Muscle Cells (in gut)
• The outermost part
Ectoderm
• Forms the exoskeleton (involves in giving structures, shape in a certain tissue or entity)
Ectoderm
Epidermis
Can be found in
skin cells of epidermis
neuron on brain
pigment cells
FOUR TYPES OF TISSUES:
• Epithelial Tissue
• Connective Tissue
• Muscular Tissue
• Nervous Tissue
• Functions to provide protection
• Can be found in the skin, also in the various linings of the organs and passages
Epithelial Tissue
Provides blood supply to the epithelium
Connects the tissue to bones, tendons, in order to provide nutrients, and blood supply to the different parts of the body
Connective Tissue
- The major ingredient in all connective tissue
COLLAGEN
Types of Connective Tissue:
• Connective Tissue Proper
• Cartilage
• Bone
• Blood
• Muscular Tissue
• Nervous Tissue
2 types of Connective Tissue Proper

• Areolar
• Adipose
• Reticular
Dense ct (3)
RIE

Irreguar
Elastic
Cartilage (3)
Fibrocartilage

Hyaline
Bone (2)
Compact
Spongy
Tissue involved in movement
Muscular Tissue
Three basic types of muscular tissue
• Skeletal muscle (Voluntary)
• Cardiac muscle (Involuntary)
• Smooth muscle (Involuntary)
• Send signal, impulse, and messages from the brain to other parts of the body
Nervous Tissue
• A broad and complex branch of science because we are dealing with diseases, including the effects of these diseases on our body and the consequences to our tissue and cells
GENERAL PATHOLOGY
Why do we need to understand Histology?
• Disease processes affect tissues in distinctive ways, which depend on the type of tissue and the disease itself.
• Understanding the changes that are characteristic of a disease requires detailed knowledge of the normal histology of cells and tissues and the range of normality.
• Knowing the type of tissue and their composition is important in the selection of the appropriate histopathologic technique and stain to be used.
• These changes within cells and tissues can be visualized using histopathologic techniques.
PATHOLOGY
• Taken from the Greek word “Pathos” and “Logos,” which means ______
study of suffering or disease
• Underlying cause of death
• Structural and functional changes in cells, tissue, and organs
• Molecular bases of diseases
HISTOPATHOLOGY
- Father of Modern Pathology
Rudolf Virchow
- Father of Medicine
Hippocrates

Pathology is divided into two major areas:
GROSS PATHOLOGY
MICROSCOPIC PATHOLOGY
• Changes in the tissue that can be seen by the naked eye
• You will be identifying the shape, color, size, and consistency of the tissue
GROSS PATHOLOGY
• Changes in the tissue that can be seen using the microscope
MICROSCOPIC PATHOLOGY
Under microscopic pathology
Clinical pathology
Anatomical pathology
• Compositions of body fluids, tissues, secretion, exudates, and transudates
Clinical Pathology
Clinical Pathology
• Compositions of
body fluids
tissues
secretion
exudates
transudates
Under Clinical Pathology:
• Clinical Chemistry
• Bacteriology
• Clinical Microscopy
• Hematology
• Immunology-Serology
Removal of an organ/tissue in the body for examination/diagnosis
Anatomical Pathology
Under Anatomical Pathology:
• Histopathology
Any change from a state of health as a result of certain forms of stimuli and stress.
Disease
FOUR ASPECTS OF A DISEASE PROCESS
EPMC
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphologic and Molecular Changes
Clinical manifestations
(Cause of disease/oriain of disease
Genetic or Acquired Factors (a.k.a Root Cause or Causative Agents)
Etiology
Mechanisms of the development of the disease
Pathogenesis
Sequence of events from initial stimulus to ultimate expression of the disease
Pathogenesis
Structural, biochemical and molecular alterations as a result of disease
Morphologic and molecular changes
MORPHOLOGIC AND MOLECULAR
CHANGES
Structural Changes
Biochemical Changes
•Functional consequence of the changes
Clinical manifestations
Under clinical manifestations
Signs
Symptoms
Effects that can be observed by others
Example:
chickenpox, rashes
Signs
Effects apparent only to the patient
Example: headache
Symptoms
STAGES OF THE CELLULAR RESPONSE TO STRESS AND INJURIES STIMULI (i draw sa papel!!!!!!)
Normal cell (Homeostasis)
Adaptation
Cell injury
Reversible injury
Irreversible injury
- Necrosis
- Apoptosis
2 types of cell death
Necrosis
Apoptosis
Inability to adapt
Cell injury
Sever progressive cell injury
Irreversible injury
Mild transient cell injury
Reversible injury
• It is through which normal cells handle physiologic demands
• Act of maintaining a steady state
HOMEOSTASIS
• Changes made by the cell in response to environmental changes (stress or stimuli)
ADAPTATION
Example: Cell injury or death
Inability to adapt
ADAPTATION
Altered cell structure or function
Cell injury
Altered cell structure or function due to:
ㅇ Inability to adapt
ㅇ Exposure to injurious stimuli
ㅇDeprivation from essential nutrients
Types of cell injury
Reversible
Irreversible
Physiologic Changes
“Program Cell Death or Active Cell Death”
Apoptosis
Example of apoptosis
Example: death of RBC after 120 days
• Pathologic Changes
“Passive Cell Death or Accidental Cell Death”
Necrosis
Example of necrosis
Example: cell death because of iniurious stimulus
STAGES OF THE CELLULAR RESPONSE TO STRESS AND INJURIOUS STIMULI:
OTHER RESPONSES
• Autophagy (self-eating)
• Intracellular Accumulation of Substances
• Pathologic Calcification
•Cellular Aging
The body will eat its own components in order to survive
Autophagy (self-eating)
• Acquire substances from neighboring cells
Intracellular Accumulation of Substances
• The level of calcium is increased; hence, the tissue is hardened.
This happens in order to stop further destruction
Pathologic Calcification
• The cell is old so the function is already declining.
Cellular Aging
