This document discusses the differences between pathology and pathophysiology. Pathology focuses on the physical changes present in diseased organs and tissues, which are studied through specimens obtained post-mortem or after death. Pathophysiology, on the other hand, focuses on the abnormal functioning of diseased organs with application to medical procedures and patient care. It studies changes in normal mechanical, physical and biochemical functions caused by disease or abnormal syndromes. While pathology and pathophysiology often overlap in diseases and processes, pathology emphasizes direct observations from specimens, while pathophysiology emphasizes quantifiable measurements of malfunctions from or causing disease.

Pathophysiology an Psy!hoyna"i!s o# is$as$ !a%sation Pathophysiology &$'s%s Pathology The terms pathology andpathophysiology are most of the time misused and interchanged. Both terms refer to the study of disease, but pathology and pathophysiology are different. PATHOLOGY is applied to the or! of pathologist and physicians hose focus is on the PHY"#$AL $HA%G&" present in diseased organs and tissues. These physical changes are studied by obtaining specimens. "uch specimens are obtained post'mortem or folloing after death. PATHOPHY"#OLOGY, on the other hand, focuses on the AB%O()AL *+%$T#O%#%G of diseased organs ith application to medical procedures and patient care. #t studies the changes of normal mechanical, physical and biochemical functions hich are either caused by a diseaseor from an abnormal syndrome. The study of pathology and pathophysiology often o,erlap in diseases and processes. Hoe,er, pathology emphasi-es direct obser,ations hile pathophysiologyemphasi-es .uantifiable measurements. Pathophysiologyloo!s at the specific malfunctioning that comes from or causes of the disease. #n pathology, abnormalities may be grossly ,isible from the obtained specimens. )eaning to say, the abnormalities can be seen ith the na!ed eye or may be obser,ed microscopically. Dis$as$ an Etiology /hen can e tell that a person has a disease0 )ost people consider themsel,es healthy hen their physical and mental capacities can be fully utili-ed. /hen impairment is present then e can hear them say that a disease is present. /hat is the e1act definition of disease0 Any disruption in the homeostatic balance re.uired for an optimal cellular function that is e1pressed at the somatic 2hole body3 le,el is recogni-ed as disease. Broadly, it refers to any abnormally condition that impairs normal function. #t is associated ith specific signs and symptomsthat a person clinical manifests. The ord etiology refers to the cause of a certain disease. #t is the study of disease causation or origination. *re.uently, common usages e.uate the terms etiology and causes. /hen the etiology of a disease is un!non, it is said to be idiopathic. #n general, there are three categories of etiology. 4iseases could be described as genetic 2the indi,idual5s genes are responsible for the defect3, congenital 2factors in the embryo5s intrauterine en,ironment interfere ith normal de,elopment3 or ac.uired 2other factors encountered later in life produce the disease3.
