Article Review: Advancements in Veterinary Histopathology: Linking Tissue Pathology to Clinical Outcomes

stressors. Histopathologists in veterinary pathology are therefore engaged in examining tissue alterations resulting from the direct or indirect influence of diseases on cells, tissues, organs, and/or body systems. Such microscopic alterations are collectively considered as 'lesions,' and the terminology used to describe these changes is unique to histopathology. Although mainly involved in Histopathology comprises the study of morphological changes occurring in tissues and organs during various pathological conditions or following exposure to chemicals, drugs, and other environmental diagnostic work, the veterinary histopathologist often plays a substantial role in understanding the pathogenesis of an individual case or collection of cases and may contribute to fundamental studies of the etiology and pathogenesis of a wide range of diseases affecting different species of animals. In review, where the aim is to understand why and how a disease develops, the broad term "anatomical pathology" is used.
