Pathology In Webster's Dictionary
\Pa*thol"o*gy\, n. (Med.)
The condition of an organ, tissue, or fluid produced by
disease.
\Pa*thol"o*gy\ (-j[y^]), n.; pl. {Pathologies}
(-j[i^]z). [Gr. pa`qos a suffering, disease + -logy: cf. F.
pathologie.] (Med.)
The science which treats of diseases, their nature, causes,
progress, symptoms, etc.
Note: Pathology is general or special, according as it treats
of disease or morbid processes in general, or of
particular diseases; it is also subdivided into
internal and external, or medical and surgical
pathology. Its departments are {nosology},
{[ae]tiology}, {morbid anatomy}, {symptomatology}, and
{therapeutics}, which treat respectively of the
classification, causation, organic changes, symptoms,
and cure of diseases.
{Celluar pathology}, a theory that gives prominence to the
vital action of cells in the healthy and diseased function
of the body. --Virchow.
