|
OCCURS AT A CELLULAR LEVEL, NEED A MICROSCOPE TO VIEW
|
|
|

|
THIS STUDY LOOKS AT CHANGES AND FUNCTIONS
EXAMPLE: HOW DISEASES EFFECT THE LUNGS |
|
|

|
|

|
FORECAST OF THE OUTCOME OF A DISEASE
EX: IS IT ACUTE OR CHRONIC? |
|
|
DIAGNOSIS
|
DETERMINATION OF THE NATURE OF A DISEASE
|

|
|
|
EPIDEMIC
