    Pathophysiology Overview

    • Pathophysiology seeks to explain the changes that occur within the body in response to disease or injury.

    Physiology and Pathology

    • Physiology describes the processes or mechanisms operating within an organism.
    • Pathology describes the conditions typically observed during a disease state.

    Origins of Pathophysiology

    • The term pathophysiology comes from the Greek words "pathos" meaning disease, "physios" meaning nature, and "logia" meaning study.

    Intersection of Disciplines

    • Pathophysiology is at the intersection of physiology and pathology.

    Definition of Terms
