Description
This course provides the graduate student with an introduction to the science of Pathology. The basic principles of pathology will be presented with an emphasis on understanding the development of the disease process. The general cellular and molecular events involved in the pathogenesis of disease will be introduced, with an emphasis that the pathological process is not a new entity, but a misapplication of the normal processes already encountered. The topics include cellular pathology, inflammation and repair, hemodynamics, congenital and pediatric disorders, immunopathology, and neoplasms. This course is meant to integrate the knowledge gained from the cells and tissues, microbiology and immunology, anatomy, and physiology courses and prepares the student for advanced coursework in diagnosis.
Prerequisite(s): BASC 5204 Physiology I; BASC 5205 Microbiology/Immunology; BASC 5104 Developmental and Applied Anatomy
