Pathology
What is a Pathology ?
Pathology, a branch of medical science, is dedicated to the investigation and diagnosis of diseases.
Clinical pathology involves scrutinizing surgically excised organs, tissue samples (biopsies), bodily fluids, and sometimes entire bodies through autopsies.
Evaluation of bodily specimens encompasses gross anatomical characteristics, cellular appearance using immunological and chemical analyses, as well as genetic studies.
General pathology
General pathology encompasses a vast and intricate domain focusing on elucidating the mechanisms underlying cellular and tissue injury, as well as comprehending the body’s responses to and restoration from such injury. Areas of exploration within this discipline include necrosis, neoplasia, wound healing, inflammation, and cellular adaptation to injury. Profound comprehension of these realms is pivotal in disease diagnosis. Additionally, the term “general pathology” encompasses both anatomical and clinical pathology.
