'''Pathology''' is the study and [[diagnosis]] of [[disease]] through examination of [[Organ (anatomy)|organs]], [[tissue (biology)|tissues]], [[bodily fluid]]s and whole bodies ([[Autopsy]]). 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.
