| − | | |
| − | * The term '''pathology''' is derived from:
| |
| − | ** '''Pathos''', or suffering
| |
| − | ** '''Logos''', or reasoning/logic.
| |
| − | * Pathology is defined as the study of disease including:
| |
| − | ** '''Aetiology''' - causal factor(s)
| |
| − | ** '''Pathogenesis''' - the development of the disease within the body.
| |
| − | ** '''Lesions''' - the observable structural changes in the tissues and fluids of the body.
| |
| − | ** '''Pathophysiology''' - the functional changes in diseased tissues.
| |
| − | ** '''Sequel''' - the consequences of the disease in the body.
| |
| − | ** '''Remote effects''' - the effect of disease in one tissue on other tissues in the body.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Lesions===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Lesions are the abnormalities or changes seen in living tissues due to disease.
| |
| − | * Observed in
| |
| − | ** The live animal
| |
| − | ** Tissues surgically removed from the live animal
| |
| − | *** Biopsy/ excision
| |
| − | ** Animals soon after death
| |
| − | *** Necropsy, post-mortem examination.

| − | ====Decription of Lesions====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Descriptions of lesions is very important
| |
| − | * Whole organs, tissues or individual lesions are described under headings such as
| |
| − | *# Size
| |
| − | *# Shape
| |
| − | *# Colour
| |
| − | *# Weight
| |
| − | *#* Generally in relation to body weight
| |
| − | *# Texture and Consistency
| |
| − | *# Appearance of the cut surface
| |
| − | *# Contents of hollow organs
| |
| − | *# Position, relationships and effects on adjacent tissues
