Unlock the fundamentals of disease with a classic pathology reference.
This handbook, the Manual of Pathological Anatomy, presents a clear, accessible overview of how disease alters the body. It frames pathology as a complement to physiology, explaining how abnormal actions of the body’s organs come to light through morbid changes.
The text outlines a practical approach to general pathology, the blood, tissues, growths, and parasites. It emphasizes describing alterations to major functions, followed by the study of blood conditions, tissue changes, and superadded formations. The material is grounded in careful observation and aims to give readers a structured, usable understanding of disease processes.
What you’ll experience
- Foundational concepts linking physiology, normal anatomy, and disease.
- Structured guidance on morbid changes across organs and systems.
- Discussion of tumors and parasitic formations as part of pathological study.
- Historical context and practical illustrations to aid learning.
Ideal for readers of medical history and students seeking a solid introduction to pathological anatomy, along with clinicians who want a reference rooted in traditional observation and description.
