Pathology

Pathology is the branch of medical science that deals with the study of diseases and their effects on the structure and function of the body. Pathologists, experts in this field, investigate the causes, mechanisms, and patterns of diseases. They analyze tissues, organs, and bodily fluids to diagnose illnesses, understand their progression, and contribute to treatment plans. Pathology encompasses various specialties, including anatomical pathology (studying tissues and organs) and clinical pathology (analyzing bodily fluids like blood and urine). It plays a crucial role in medical diagnostics and research.
