91402 Anatomical Pathology

This subject builds on the subject Histology and provides a basic knowledge of disease processes, the body's responses to them, and the light microscopic appearance of diseased tissues; General Pathology. Students then move on to Special Pathology and examine the major organ systems, learning about organ specific diseases which affect these systems. Various histochemical methods already learned are used to demonstrate pathological tissue changes that occur during disease development. This is all integrated to present an understanding of disease, its histological appearance and the laboratory staining techniques used to investigate structural tissue changes that occur in disease states and aid histopathological diagnosis.
