Fields, Methods and Laboratory — General Pathology

General Pathology · Basic Sciences

How it begins

La Patología (del griego πάθος, pathos: "enfermedad, sufrimiento", y λόγος, logos: "estudio, razón") es la rama de la medicina que estudia la naturaleza, causas, mecanismos, desarrollo y consecuencias de las enfermedades, mediante el análisis de los cambios estructurales, bioquímicos y funcionales que ocurren en células, tejidos y órganos. Constituye el puente esencial entre las ciencias básicas y la medicina…
