The term also encompasses the related [[science|scientific]] study of disease processes, called [[General pathology]]. Medical pathology is divided in two main branches, [[Anatomical pathology]] and [[Clinical pathology]]. [[Veterinary pathology]] is concerned with animal disease whereas [[Phytopathology]] is the study of plant diseases. ==History of pathology== {{main|History of pathology}} {{:History of pathology}} ==General pathology== {{main|General pathology}} {{:General pathology}} ==Pathology as a medical specialty== {{main|Pathology as a medical specialty}} {{:Pathology as a medical specialty}} ===Anatomical pathology=== {{main|Anatomical pathology}} {{:Anatomical pathology}} ===Clinical pathology=== {{main|Clinical pathology}} {{:Clinical pathology}} ==Veterinary pathology== {{main|Veterinary pathology}} {{:Veterinary pathology}} ==Plant pathology== {{main|Phytopathology}} {{:Phytopathology}} ==Notes== {{reflist}} ==See also== *[[Medical laboratory]] * [[List of publications in biology#Pathology|Important publications in pathology]] ==External links== * [http://www.acb.org.uk/ Association of Clinical Biochemistry (UK)] * [http://www.asip.org/ American Society for Investigative Pathology] * [http://www.cytopathology.org American Society of Cytopathology] * [http://www.bns.org.uk/ British Neuropathological Society] * [http://www.massgeneral.org/pathology/caserecords.htm Case Records of the Massachusetts General Hospital - Clinicopathological Conference] * [http://www.cap.org/ College of American Pathologists] * [http://www.flickr.com/groups/labmed/ Flickr group: Pathology and Lab Medicine]: numerous photos illustrating the work of pathologists. * [http://morfopat.medicalstudent.ro/ HistoPathology Atlas] * [http://www.humpath.com/ humpath.com] (Atlas in Human Pathology) * [http://www.histochem.net/ Immunohistochemistry protocols and troubleshooting] * [http://www.mybiopsy.org Mybiopsy.org] * [http://www.pathsoc.org.uk/ Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland] * [http://www.rcpath.org/ Royal College of Pathologists (UK)] * [http://www,rcpa.edu.au Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (Australia & Oceania)] * [http://www.snp.com.au Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology] - Leading Australian Pathology Laboratory. * [http://www.uscap.org/ United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology] * [http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/webpath.html WebPath: The Internet Pathology Laboratory for Medical Education] * [http://www.pathtalk.org Pathtalk.org - A community weblog about pathology-related topics.] * [http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/fraser.charlton/pathology What is a Pathologist?] - a perspective from UK pathologist Fraser Charlton. * [http://www.pathologypics.com Pathologypics - an interactive community-driven histology atlas] {{Pathology|state=expanded}} {{Medicine}} {{biology-footer}} [[Category:Pathology| ]] [[Category:Medical specialties]] [[Category:Biology]] [[Category:Subjects taught in medical school]] [[ar:علم الأمراض]] [[ast:Patoloxía]] [[br:Patologiezh]] [[bg:Патология]] [[ca:Patologia]] [[cs:Patologie]] [[da:Patologi]] [[de:Pathologie]] [[es:Patología]] [[eo:Patologio]] [[fr:Pathologie]] [[ko:병리학]] [[hy:Ախտաֆիզիոլոգիա]] [[hr:Patologija]] [[id:Patologi]] [[is:Meinafræði]] [[it:Patologia]] [[he:פתולוגיה]] [[hu:Patológia]] [[ms:Patologi]] [[nl:Pathologie]] [[ne:रोगशास्त्र]] [[ja:病理学]] [[no:Patologi]] [[nn:Patologi]] [[pt:Patologia]] [[ru:Патология]] [[sq:Patologjia]] [[sk:Patológia]] [[sl:Patologija]] [[sr:Патологија]] [[su:Patologi]] [[fi:Patologia]] [[sv:Patologi]] [[te:రోగ నిర్ణయ శాస్త్రము]] [[th:พยาธิวิทยา]] [[tr:Patoloji]] [[uk:Патологія]] [[ur:امراضیات]] [[zh:病理学]]
