Anatomical Pathology Comprehensive Review with Color Slides; Anatomy and Pathology

Comprehensive Review course of Anatomy and Pathology. Anatomical pathology

or Anatomic pathology is a medical specialty that is concerned with the

diagnosis of disease based on the gross, microscopic, chemical,

immunologic and molecular examination of organs, tissues, and rarely whole

bodies (autopsy).


Anatomical pathology is one of two branches of pathology, the other being

clinical pathology, the diagnosis of disease through the laboratory

analysis of bodily fluids and/or tissues. Often, pathologists practice

both anatomical and clinical pathology, a combination known as general

pathology.


The role of an APT is varied and there are many different areas of

expertise required. One of the main roles is to provide assistance to a

pathologist in conducting post mortems. This is a vital area of work as

understanding the causes of death enables better understanding of the

diseaseprocess and in some cases, when death is unexpected, the cause of

death can have legal implications. The extent of involvement and

responsibility of the APT during the post mortem examination will increase

as the APT gains skills and knowledge. The APT is responsible for the

reconstruction of the deceased after examination and this is an important

skill.
