General Pathology
General pathology is a broad and complex scientific field which covers all of the areas of more specialist pathologies. General pathologists seek to understand the mechanisms of injury to cells and tissues, as well as the body's means of responding to and repairing injury. Areas of study include cellular adaptation to injury, necrosis, inflammation, wound healing and neoplasia. The term "general pathology" is also used to describe the practice of both anatomical and clinical pathology.
