What are the five reasons embalmers should study pathology?
1. to recognize the pathological conditions which require special procedures in the removal, handling, preparation, and disposition of human remains
2. to deminstrate knowledge of the terminology which will enable competent communication with members of the medical profession and other health field members
3. to understand why cooperation in community programs for controlling diseases and promoting medical research is important

deals with the study of the general processes of disease, such as inflammation, degeneration, necrosis, or cellular death, repair, disturbance of circulation without reference to particular organs or organ systems
General pathology
-
deals with the special features of disease in relation to particular organs or organ systems
Special pathology
-
the abnormal performance of certain physiological functions as a result of injury to the cells performing the functions
Disease
-
Explain the "Doctrine of Cellular Pathology"
Diseases cells make-up diseased tissues, which make-up diseased organs which make-up diseased systems which make-up a diseased body.

Fulminating disease
-
a disease with a slow onset and long continued duration
Chronic disease
-
a disease due to the lack of some essential dietary factors such as vitamins or minerals

-
a disease that attacks a large number of people in a community at the same time
Epidemic disease
-
an extensive epidemic, possibly of world-wide extent
Pandemic disease
-
a disease that occurs occasionally in a random or isolated manner

Describe pathogenesis in more detail than the definition given above.
what causes it, what changes it produces, and how it affects the structure and functional activities of the involved organs and the body as a whole
the prognosis and rational treatment of a disease are based on this
-
disease which produces NO recognizable structure changes

What are the examples of a functional disease?
-
disease which produces recognizable structure changes
