the cause of dz
etiology

pathogenisis
= sequence of events from initial stimulus to ultimate expression of disease
molecular and morphological changes
biochemical and structural alterations induced in cells and organs of the body
clinical signs resulting from functional abnormalities of affected tissues
clinical manifestations

What can you use to come up with a Differential diagnoses (DDx)
Damnit-V scheme
Define lesion
any morphological change in tissues during disease – Lesions caused by disease manifest morphologically as alterations in color, shape, size, texture, etc… – Microscopic or Macroscopic
Explain the difference between Mdx and Edx
Morphologic diagnosis (MDx) – Includes pathological process, location, distribution, duration & severity •
Etiologic diagnosis (Edx) – Includes pathological process, location, and cause
