• The term Histology was coined in 1819 by

Karl Mayer, who combined the two Greek
words histos (tissues) and logos (study).

CELL
• is the fundamental structural and functional unit of

• A tissue is a group of cells, in close proximity, organized
to perform one or more specific functions.

Pathology is a branch of medical science primarily concerning

the cause, origin and nature of disease. It involves the
examination of tissues, organs, bodily fluids and autopsies in
order to study and diagnose disease

Histopathology is the diagnosis and study of diseases of the tissues, and

involves examining tissues and/or cells under a microscope. Histopathologists
are responsible for making tissue diagnoses and helping clinicians manage a
patient's care.

FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION BIOPSY (FNAB)

is a simple procedure that involves passing a thin needle
through the skin to sample fluid or tissue from a cyst or solid
mass,

An EXCISIONAL BIOPSY is a medical test in which the whole

lesion or mass is removed and tested.
