Pathology

Pathology is generally described as a complex and broad field that involves the study of the mechanisms behind cell and tissue injury, as well as understanding how the body responds to and repairs injury. Most common examples include necrosis, Neoplasia, wound healing, inflammation and how cells adapt to injury. Understanding in these areas thoroughly leads to its application in the diagnosis of disease. Generally pathology used to describe anatomical and clinical pathology. This field almost covers all areas of pathology, but less on specialist level. A person working on general pathology would be trained in the areas of laboratory analysis, like haematology and clinical chemistry.
