Pathology vs. Biochemistry — What's the Difference?

Pathology is the study of the causes and effects of disease or injury. The word pathology also refers to the study of disease in general, incorporating a wide range of biology research fields and medical practices.

Biochemistry or biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology and metabolism.

The science of the causes and effects of diseases, especially the branch of medicine that deals with the laboratory examination of samples of body tissue for diagnostic or forensic purposes

The study of the chemical substances and vital processes occurring in living organisms; biological chemistry; physiological chemistry.

The scientific study of the nature of disease and its causes, processes, development, and consequences. Also called pathobiology.

The chemical composition of a particular living system or biological substance

The anatomic or functional manifestations of a disease

(uncountable) The chemistry of those compounds that occur in living organisms, and the processes that occur in their metabolism and catabolism

A departure or deviation from a normal condition

(countable) The chemical characteristics of a particular living organism

The study of the nature of disease and its causes, processes, development, and consequences; now usually and especially in the clinical and academic medicine subsenses defined below.

(countable) The biochemical activity associated with a particular chemical or condition

The clinical biomedical specialty that provides microscopy and other laboratory services to clinicians (e.g., cytology, histology, cytopathology, histopathology, cytometry).

The chemistry of living organisms; the chemistry of the processes incidental to, and characteristic of, life.

The academic biomedical specialty that advances the aspects of the biomedical sciences that allow for those clinical applications and their advancements over time.

The organic chemistry of compounds and processes occuring in organisms; the effort to understand biology within the context of chemistry

Any of several interrelated scientific disciplines that advance the aspects of the life sciences that allow for such technological applications and their advancements over time.

Pathosis: any deviation from a healthy or normal structure or function; abnormality; illness or malformation.

The science which treats of diseases, their nature, causes, progress, symptoms, etc.

The condition of an organ, tissue, or fluid produced by disease.

The branch of medical science that studies the causes and nature and effects of diseases

Any deviation from a healthy or normal condition
