Pathology - Answer-the branch of medicine that studies the characteristics, causes and effects of disease Etiology - Answer-the study of all factors that may be involved in the development of disease. cause of the disease Pathogenesis - Answer-manner in which disease(s) develop. changes effects treatment - Answer-Pathology includes etiology, pathogenesis, BLANK and final BLANK that take place in the body as a result of disease. It does not, however, consider BLANK of disease. Pathological Anatomy - Answer-the study of structural changes in the body brought about as a result of disease Gross Pathology Microscopic Pathology (Histopathology) - Answer-2 Branches of Pathological Anatomy Gross Pathology - Answer-a branch of pathological anatomy that studies the structural changes brought about by disease as seen with the naked eye. Microscopic Pathology (Histopathology) - Answer-a branch of pathological anatomy that studies the structural changes brought about by disease and is seen with a microscope. Surgical Pathology Clinical Pathology Physiological Pathology Micro-Legal (Forensic) Pathology General Pathology Special Pathology - Answer-Divisions of Pathological AnatomySurgical Pathology - Answer-the study of tissues that have been removed surgically. This is done on a living tissue. Biopsy - Answer-Example of Surgical Pathology 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. excretions secretions laboratory - Answer-Clinical Pathology is the study of BLANK, BLANK, and various other body fluids for the purpose of diagnosing a disease. Basically, it is the BLANK diagnosis of disease. Clinical Pathology Examples - Answer-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. function - Answer-Physiological Pathology studies the changes in BLANK brought about by disease or changes in function during a disease. Micro-Legal (Forensic) Pathology - Answer-a branch of pathology that deals with studies for legal purpose. General Pathology - Answer-the study of the general processes of disease such as inflammation, necrosis and cell death. It deals with the body as a whole without reference to any particular organ or system. Forensic Pathology Examples - Answer-autopsies necropsies post mortem examination removal of specimens from the deadSpecial Pathology - Answer-studies disease in relation to a particular organ system. Autopsy - Answer-the postmortem (after death) examination of the organs and tissues of a body to determine the cause or death or pathological condition. Necropsy Postmortem Exam - Answer-2 Additional Terms for Autopsy Confirm Diagnosis (Treatment) Advance Research Determine ID and Cause of Death - Answer-3 Purposes for Autopsies Disease - Answer-a disturbance in the structure or function or both of the cells, tissues or organs. the abnormal performance of certain physiologic functions. a dynamic series of changes that may end in: recovery; permanent injury or even death. function cells abnormal physiological - Answer-Disease is a disturbance in the structure or BLANK or both of the BLANK, tissues or organs, the BLANK performance of certain BLANK functions, and a dynamic series of changes that may end in: recovery; permanent injury or even death. Recovery Permanent Injury Death - Answer-3 Results of Having a Disease Doctrine of Cellular Pathology - Answer-the structural changes of disease may be found in the cells of a sick organ. In other words, if a tissue or organ is infected or sick, then the cells of the tissue will also be infected and sick! Dr. Rudolf Virchow - Answer-the "father" of cellular pathology who created the Doctrine of Cellular Pathology 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. Prognosis - Answer-The predicted outcome of a disease Symptoms - Answer-Subjective complaints experienced by the patient. They are not directly measurable. Examples would be: pain, dizziness, itching.
