19	Objective of the Course:	To teach students the aetiological factors and mechanisms underlying diseases and the appreciation, recognition and differentiation of terms degeneration, inflammation and neoplasia and also able them to proper use of these information verbally and orally.
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	Students learn how to discuss lesions in animal diseases.

Learning Outcomes:

1	The student learns cellular adaptation and the morphology, aetiology and results of degeneration;
2	The student learns disturbances in clotting, disturbances in blood flow and their consequences;
3	Knowledge in inflammation and inflammation types; cellular and chemical mediators of inflammation; immunological reactions is gained;
4	The student learns healing and repair, terminology and classification of them;
5	The student learns the general characteristics of tumours, aetiology, growth and classification of them;
6	The differentiation between normal and abnormal is gained;
7	The student appreciates the relationship between macroscopic and microscopic lesions;

22	Course Content:

Week	Theoretical	Practical
1	Introduction to recommended books; important terminology in pathology; disease, degeneration and reaction, aetiology and pathogenesis of diseases. Diseases at cellular level, functions of cell organelles in cellular adaptation; autophagia, heterophagia, phagocytosis, pinocytosis and endocytosis	Slides and presentations about accumulations( calcification and amyloid deposits)
2	Types of cellular adaptation (cellular atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, metaplasia, dysplasia); definitions and macroscopic and microscopic recognition of agenesis, aplasia, atresia	Slides and presentations about cellular adaptations (hyperplasia, metaplasia)
3	Reversible and irreversible cell degenerations (degeneration and necrosis) and their recognition, pathogenesis and and macroscopic and microscopic characteristics	Slides and gross organ presentations exemplifying the types of degenerations and necrosis
4	Disturbances in blood flow (hyperaemia, haemorrhage, thrombosis) their recognition, pathogenesis and and macroscopic and microscopic characteristics	Slides exemplifying the circulatory disturbances (hyperemia, congestion, hemorrhage) and macroscopic –microscopic specimens
5	Disturbances in blood flow ( ischemia, infarct, shock and oedema) their recognition, pathogenesis and and macroscopic and microscopic characteristics	Slides exemplifying the circulatory disturbances (infarcts and edema) and macroscopic –microscopic specimens
6	Inflammation, functions, aim, causes. Changes during inflammation: haemodynamic, permeability, extravasation	Slides about hemodynamic and permeability changes and extravasation during inflammation
7	Cellular changes during inflammation: margination, pavementing, migration, chemotactic factors, mediators	Slides and specimens exemplifying the inflammatory cells
8	Mediators of inflammation, phagocytosis, microbicidal mechanisms, complement, phagocytosis defects; inflammatory cells	Slides and specimens exemplifying the acute type of inflammation
9	Inflammation and morphological classification. Acute-chronic-granulomatous; nomenclature; terminology for distribution and severity; gross and microscopic appearance	Slides and specimens exemplifying the chronic and granulomatous types of inflammation
