Pathology {path-ol' '-o-je) [-afioc, disease ; /oyoc, sci- 

 ence]. That branch of medical science which treats 

 of the modifications of function and changes in struc- 

 ture caused by disease. It is divided, especially on the 

 European continent, into P., External, or surgery, 

 and P., Internal, or medicine limited to diseases of 

 internal organs. Of pathology in general three sub- 

 divisions are made — morbid anatomy, morbid physiol- 

 ogy, and etiology. P., Cellular, pathology that makes 

 the cell the basis of all vital phenomena, and teaches 

 that every cell is derived from a pre-existing parent- 

 cell. P., Comparative, a study of pathologic pro- 

 ves in lower animals, for purposes of tracing resem- 

 blances and differences among them and between them 

 and those of the human body. P., Experimental, 

 the study of pathologic processes artificially induced 

 in lower animals. P., General, that department of 

 pathology which takes cognizance of those morbid 

 processes that may be observed in various diseases and 

 in any organ, e.g., inflammation and hypertrophy. 

 P., Geographic, pathology in its relation to climatic 

 and geographic conditions. P., Humoral, the old doc- 

 trine that all disease is due to abnormal conditions of 

 the blood. It has been revived in recent times in a 

 modified form, and is now based on the theory that both 

 immunity and susceptibility to disease reside in the 

 juices of the body. P., Medical. Synonym of 

 P., Internal. P., Special, the science of such 

 changes in function and structure as occur in special 

 organs, e.g., pneumonia. P., Surgical. Synonym 

 of P., External.
