Definition of pathology
pathologynoun
bệnh lý học
/pəˈθɒlədʒi//pəˈθɑːlədʒi/The word "pathology" originates from the Greek words "pathos," meaning "suffering" or "disease," and "logos," meaning "study" or "science." In medicine, pathology refers to the study of the nature of diseases, especially in bodily tissues and organs. The term "pathology" was first used in the 15th century to describe the study of diseases as a separate field of medicine. Prior to this, diseases were often viewed as a result of humoral imbalances or supernatural forces. The development of microscopy and the study of morbid anatomy by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and others led to a greater understanding of the cellular and tissue changes that occur in diseases. Today, pathology is a vital component of modern medicine, and pathologists play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, often using advanced technologies and techniques such as molecular biology and imaging analysis.
