- "When used in the context of modern medical treatment, the term is often used in a narrower fashion to refer to processes and tests that fall within the contemporary medical field of 'general pathology'."
- "A physician practicing pathology is called a pathologist."
- "Pathology addresses components of disease: cause, mechanisms of development (pathogenesis), structural alterations of cells (morphologic changes), and the consequences of changes (clinical manifestations)."
- "In common medical practice, general pathology is mostly concerned with analyzing known clinical abnormalities that are markers or precursors for both infectious and non-infectious disease."
- "General pathology is conducted by experts in one of two major specialties, anatomical pathology and clinical pathology."
- "Comparing, for example, cytopathology, hematopathology, and histopathology."
- "Organs, as in renal pathology."
- "Physiological systems, as with oral pathology."
- "Yes, as with forensic pathology."
- "Pathology is a significant field in modern medical diagnosis and medical research."
- "In the statement 'the many different forms of cancer have diverse pathologies,' in which case a more proper choice of word would be 'pathophysiologies'."
- "The affix pathy is sometimes used to indicate a state of disease in cases of both physical ailment and psychological conditions."
- "Pathology also refers to the study of disease in general, incorporating a wide range of biology research fields and medical practices."
- "Pathology incorporates a wide range of biology research fields and medical practices."
- "Anatomical pathology is one of the major specialties in general pathology."
- "Clinical pathology is one of the major specialties in general pathology."
- "An area [within general pathology] which includes a number of distinct but inter-related medical specialties that diagnose disease, mostly through analysis of tissue and human cell samples."
