3. General Pathology
Basic reactions of cells and tissues to abnormal stimuli or interited defects
Pathologists investigate:
cause of disease, etiology
development of disease, pathogenesis
morphological and molecular changes in diseased tissues and cells
clinical manisfestations and course of disease
Pathologists evaluate morphology, histology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and patient symptoms
Changes and alterations that are peculiar to specific organ systems are covered in systemic pathology
