Define each of the general pathological processes covered in this unit (hyperaemia, haemorrhage, oedema, thrombosis, acute inflammation, chronic inflammation, healing by regeneration and repair, cellular degeneration and death, adaptive tissue responses, pigment accumulation and storage diseases, calcification, neoplasia and teratology), explain the mechanisms and outline the pathways of progression (pathogenesis) of the disease.
Describe the typical gross and histomorphologic appearance and features of these pathological processes, and predict their sequelae and consequences for the patient.
Make appropriate use of the vocabulary and terminology used in the discipline of General Pathology to describe the pathogenesis of a tissue lesion or disease.
Recognise and describe the key anatomical and histological features of the main organ systems of the body e.g. lung, liver, kidney, muscle, skin, nervous system, alimentary tract, pancreas.
Recognise and describe lesions in tissues at both the gross and microscopic levels, and link these with a pathological process.
You should be able to interpret the features you see to classify lesions according to: distribution, severity, nature of the change, timing and where possible suggest a possible cause (aetiology).
Demonstrate and understanding of some histochemical techniques used in the discipline of histopathology.
