PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY
DEFINED
• Involves the study of function that results from disease processes.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY What is pathology?

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY Pathology is the branch of medical
sciences that treats the essential nature of disease, especially the changes of structure and function in tissues and organs of the body that cause or are caused by disease.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Why is pathophysiology studied?
![Page 6: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY In the clinical setting, pathologists,
histotechnologists, and cytotechnologist study tissues and cells to establish the cause of a disease.
Physicians use that information to form a treatment plan.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY What is a pathologist?

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY
A pathologist is a physician who is specifically trained and experienced in anatomical and physiological pathology.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY What is a histologic technician or
histotechnologist?
![Page 10: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY Histologic technicians and Histotechnologists
prepare slides of body tissue for microscopic examination.
Career opportunities for both are excellent in hospitals, research institutions, industrial labs, and government agencies
A technician requires a 12-month, hospital-based on-the-job training program or an AAS degree.
A histotechnologist requires a BS degree and one year of additional laboratory experience.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY
What type of studies are performed in the clinical pathology laboratory?
![Page 12: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Tissue of all types are sent to the histology department for studies into the disease process.
![Page 13: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY The pathologist studies the tissue by doing a
gross examination.
![Page 14: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY Tissues are looked at closely and all observations
are recorded.
![Page 15: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY The tissue is then prepared for microscopic
studies by placing it in a tissue cassette.
![Page 16: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY
The histotechnologist prepares the tissue for microscopic examination. This is done by using the embedding center. The tissue is placed in paraffin wax in order to cut thin slices of the tissue.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY The histotechnologist pours paraffin wax
over a tissue specimen.
![Page 19: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY Once the tissue is embedded in paraffin, the block of wax
is cooled. The histotechnologist then cuts ribbon-like sections for placement on slides. The instrument used is called a microtome.
![Page 20: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY A water bath is used for spreading the
paraffin ribbons and sections are placed on microscope slides to be stained.
![Page 21: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY Tissues are stained at the staining center.
The basic stain for all tissues is the Hemotoxylin and Eosin (counterstain) stain.
![Page 22: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812ca5550346895d914caa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY Special stains are used for particular details.
They include:• AFB-Acid Fast Bacilli Stain• PAS-Periodic Acid Schiff Stain• Trichrome Stain• Iron Stain

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY The pathologist then studies the slide to determine
pathological states within the tissues. A written report is then given to physician to aid him/her in the diagnosis and treatment of the patient.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPATHOPHYSIOLOGY Pathologists also perform frozen sections
for patient’s in surgery on the Cryostat.
