Study Notes
Pathogenesis
- The mechanism by which a causative agent produces disease symptoms and pathology is called pathogenesis.
- Pathogenesis occurs during the incubation period.
- Pathogenesis leads to structural changes in cells and tissues.
Morphologic Changes
- These are structural alterations that occur in cells and tissues as a result of pathogenesis.
- Morphologic changes can be seen with the naked eye (gross morphologic changes) or require a microscope (microscopic changes).

Description
This quiz explores the concepts of pathogenesis and the morphological changes that occur as a result of disease. Understand how causal agents produce disease symptoms and the structural alterations in cells and tissues. Test your knowledge on the differences between gross and microscopic changes brought about by pathogenesis.
