Pathophysiology
A physician specialized in the interpretation and diagnosis of the gross, microscopic, and molecular, caused by disease in the body
Pathologist
A doctor who studies all aspects of disease with an emphasis on the nature, causes, and development of abnormal conditions, as well as the structural and functional changes that result from disease processes.
Pathologist

Medical technologist
MT specialized in histopathologic techniques
Histotechnologist
T/F: In other countries like the US, a histotechnologist is a medical technologist with a subspecialty.
True
Examination of cells or tissues from a living organism.
Biopsy
May be studied in order to diagnose disease or to confirm findings of normality.
Excision biopsy material
Also called a wide local incision, which involves surgical removal of a tumor and some normal tissue around it
Excision biopsy
The amount of normal tissue taken is also called ______
Surgical margin
The surgical margin depends on the: (3)
Size, histologic type, and thickness of the tumor
Total or partial lesions removed in the form of wedges or cylindrical pieces, cores, punch, or scrapings of the surface membranes of internal organs may be collected.
Incision biopsy
T/F: The goal of excision biopsy is only to diagnose

Tumors
In greek, it means “a seeing for oneself”
Autopsy
Also called necropsy, postmortem examination, obduction.
Autopsy
Surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse by dissection to determine the cause, mode, and manner of death or to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present for research or educational purposes
Autopsy
Autopsy is a systematic examination of a cadaver for study or for determining the _____
