Specifically, general pathological processes will be discussed with emphasis on disturbed function, adaptation to injury, inflammation, tissue healing, immunological disorders, neoplasia, fluid imbalance, thrombosis, embolism and vascular disorders. In addition to general pathological processes, emphasis will be given to relevant disorders of the respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, skeletal and nervous systems.
