Special pathology deals mainly with the pathological changes related to specific diseases and pathogens. The dissection practicals are also important part requiring the active participation of the students. The skills of recognizing the pathological changes and the description of the found lesions can only be developed with permanent practicing and keen observation.<\/p>
Histopathology (pathohistologia) is the study of the pathological changes in the organs by light and electron microscopy (EM) and it is an essential investigation method of pathology.<\/p>
During histopathological practicals we can get acquainted with the nature of those diseases which have been seen in the pathological practicals and have been described in the lectures, such as the study of the nature of cells making up the inflammation, the activity of inflammatory cells (e.g.: phagocytosis, extravasation, cell proliferation etc.) and the study of the light microscopic signs of cell division and the accumulation and appearance of various substances (e.g.: fibrin, exudates, hyaline, calcium-salts etc.) during inflammatory processes.<\/p>
