Study of functional or physiologic changes in the body resulting from disease processes
Builds on knowledge of normal structure and function of the human body
Disease development may involve changes to normal anatomy or physiology
These changes can be obvious or hidden, with origins at the cellular level

A disease is a deviation from the normal structure or function of any part, organ, system, or combination of these.

A state of health includes physical, mental, and social well-being, as defined by the World Health Organization.

Genetic differences make it difficult to define a state of health.
Life experiences and environmental influences also make it challenging to define a state of health.
