Pathology is the study of disease processes. There are mycologists, bacteriologists, microbiologists, oncologists, and more who study specific organisms that may or may not cause disease, or specialize in specific categories. "Pathologists" would be the best answer to this question.
The different types of pathology are clinical pathology, surgical pathology, neuropathology, general pathology. General pathology covers all areas of pathology but not in as much detail as the specific types of pathology and serves a medical education. Last is a relatively new area of pathology environmental pathology.
Most master's degrees are about two years additional work after the bachelor's degree. You may have trouble finding a master's program in pathology, because most pathologists are MD's. However, you will have plenty of time to deal with those questions as you prepare to enter college.
Speech pathologists work with people who have difficulty with language. They work with individuals who have trouble producing sounds, rhythm and fluency, swallowing, and pitch. They can even help individuals reduce, modify or eliminate accents. Speech pathologists also work with people who have difficulty with social speech and communication. Speech pathologists work to diagnose, assess, treat, and even prevent disorders associated with speech and language, swallowing, and cognitive communication. These disorders can be the result of any number of developmental delays or neurological disturbances including stroke, disease, or brain injury. Speech pathologists develop individual treatment plans to match the specific, individual needs of each client. Treatment plans may include augmentative methods of communication including voice boxes or other automated devices, or alternative methods such as sign language. Nearly half of all speech pathologists work in educational settings, while others find employment in medical and social assistance centers and facilities. Speech pathologists in schools work very closely on teams with teachers and parents to develop goals and treatment plans for their students. In medical or social assistance facilities, speech pathology professionals often work alongside doctors, psychologists, therapists, and social workers. The job outlook for speech pathologists is positive, as careers in the field are in demand growing steadily and rapidly. In order to find work as a speech pathologist, a master's degree is typically required and most states also require licensing. To obtain a license, around 400 hours of supervised clinical practice and nine months of post-graduate experience are required along with successful completion of the Speech-Language Pathology Praxis exam. A master's degree program typically takes about two years to complete, but students who hold a bachelor's degree in a related field may be able to complete a program in a slightly shorter time. Courses in a speech pathology program focus on anatomy and physiology of speech, articulation, acoustics, and research methodology Look for a school accredited by The Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology.
No, pathology is a general non-specific noun. However, you would capitalize it if it were part of a title, such as Department of Pathology.
Yes, "Speech-Language Pathology" should be capitalized as it is a specific field of study and practice.
Forensic Pathologists have the responsibility of determining a specific cause of death to a human being.
Pathology is the study or diagnosis of disease. Morbidity is a state of ill health, disease or disablement from a specific source.
"No focal pathology" means that no specific abnormality or disease process is seen in a particular area being examined, such as in an imaging study or physical examination. It suggests that there are no localized issues or abnormalities present in that particular region.
The study of tissues is called histology. Histology is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues in plants and animals.

Cells into Tissues is Histology. Tissues into Organisms is Biology!the answer is HistologyHist means tissue and ology means study ofhistology
No, radioactive tracers are often specific to certain organs or tissues within the body. Different tracers are used to detect pathology in different body systems based on their biological properties and distribution in the body. It is important to select the appropriate tracer for the specific pathology being investigated.
No, FRCPath (Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists) is a professional qualification for practicing pathologists, while a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) is an academic degree obtained through research and study in a specific field. Both qualifications indicate expertise in their respective areas, but they serve different purposes.
