Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Pathology
Pathology is that subdivision of biology which has for its Object the study of life in its abnormal relations. It is the science that treats of disease in all its aspects.
By disease is meant any condition in which there is a variation from the normal aspect of the organism; it may be either a structural or a functional deviation.
Pathology also may be subdivided into two sections: one known as morbid anatomy and histology, in which the lesions are structural. The other, morbid physiology, in which the changes are functional.
The main heading may be again subdivided into general pathology, that deals with abnormal processes common to the entire organism, such as in?ammation, fever, etc., and special pathology, that includes the changes within special organs.
Under etiology are considered the conditions giving rise to disease. They may be either predisposing or exciting.
