Course objectives

The course aims to provide students with application of pathology in practice; its significance at making a diagnosis from biopsies, or at evaluating the progress of illness, medical treatment success, eventually at giving a prognosis. During necropsy examination complex evaluation of correctness of clinical diagnosis and treatment depending on the quality of examination methods. Pathology creates theoretical base for study of other clinical disciplines. In the general chapters, the course describes basic pathological processes in cells and tissues, the individual specific terms which are later used for special pathology lectures which describe damage and pathological conditions in particular organs or their systems.
