Anatomical pathology 
Historical dates, introduction, tasks 
and evolution
Anatomical pathology 
• AP is one of the most important subjects in 
the system of physician training. 
• AP deals with the material basis of the disease 
and its morphology. 
• AP is anatomy of an unhealthy body. 
• AP is complex knowledge about a sick person.
Evolution of AP 
• Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.) –he first affirmed that 
disease was alteration in the body. 
• Morgagni (1682-1771) –first scientific book in 
pathology << On site and causes of diseases revealed 
by anatomists>>.He had studied 700 corpes. 
• Beily (1799-1858)-first textbook on Special 
Pathological Anatomy. 
• Schleiden,Schwann – structure of cellular membrane 
• Rokitansky (1804-1878)- description of amyloidosis 
• Virchow (1821-1902)-”Cellular pathology”
Абрикосов А.И.(1875-1955)- 
• Tuberculosis , 
renal problems, 
pathology of oral 
cavity 
• The first textbook 
on pathological 
anatomy
Полунин А.И. (1820-1888)- 
• he was the 
first chief of 
PA department 
of the Moscow 
university
Давыдовский И.В. (1887-1968) 
• he was the 
teacher of all 
soviet and 
Russian 
pathologists
Anatomical pathology 
• AP is closely connected with clinical medicine 
and pathological physiology, microbiology, 
hygiene and other sciences.
Etiology and pathogenesis 
• Etiology –causes of diseases – 
chemical,physical,biological 
• Pathogenesis – mechanisms of pathological 
processes development- 
• -functional shifts 
(phisiological,biochemical,immunological) 
• -structural changes (step by step) 
• -localization of pathological process
Tasks of AP 
• Population may has 1000000 diseases. Person 
suffers from 1000 diseases. Organ - 100diseases. 
Cell has 10 diseases. Membrane only 1 disease – 
destruction 
• Changes in different organs and tissues are 
similar no matter where they are located –in the 
liver,kidneys,heart. They are named – typical 
pathological processes .These common processes 
are studied by the branch of AP – general course.
typical pathological processes 
• They have similar pathogenesis, mechanisms, 
stages , morphology, outcomes and results. 
• They do not depended from etiology and 
localization
General pathology 
• Death 
• Cellular disturbances 
• Disturbances of local and general circulation 
• Inflammation 
• Tumors 
• Adaptive processes
Methods of AP 
• Autopsy(dissection) 
• Biopsy 
• Experiment
Autopsy(dissection) 
• To revel the cause of death 
• To improve the quality of diagnosis 
• Information about morphological 
manifestation of disease 
• To revel the stage of pathological process
Biopsy-28 kinds of biopsies 
• Visual examination 
• Microscopical examination
Methods of work with students 
• Lectures 
• Practical classes 
• Scientificall students society 
• Additional classes according program 
• Additional extraprogram classes.
Typical pathological processes. Cellular 
pathology. Alteration (injury).Necrosis
Necrosis 
• Cellular death in the living organizm 
• Autolysis – is posthumous changes .
Causes of necrosis 
• 1gr – external causes – 
• Physical (temperature, mechanical, x-rays, 
space rays …) 
• Chemical (acids, organic and nonorganic 
subst.) 
• Biological (microbes, viruses, toxins)
• 2gr - internal – abnormal pregnancy, 
hyperthyroidosis 
• Blood circulation frustration 
(more often ischemia, for example in 
ischemic heart disease) 
• Immunologic factors 
• Genetic changes 
• Infringements of nervous trophizm
Kinds of necrosis due to mechanisms 
• Direct - due to direct action of pathological 
causes on tissue 
• Indirect – due to destraction of blood 
supply or nervous system
The main morphologic types of 
necrosis 
• Dry 
• Wet 
• Gangrene (dry and wet) 
• Infarction – pathogenetic type 
• Sequestration – outcome of necrosis
Macroscopic appearances of necrosis 
• Color – white, red , white with red 
ring and black (gangrene) 
• Consistence – dry and wet
Necrosis of the pancreas
Gangrene of the intestine
Gangrene of the foot
Microscopic signs of necrosis 
• Nuclear changes – karyopicnosis, karyorrhexis, 
karyolysis 
• Cytoplasmatic changes – coagulation proteins 
of plasma, plasmorrhexis, plasmolysis.
Necrosis of cells in the brain
Necrosis of convoluted tubules epithelium in the 
kidney
Necrosis of convoluted tubules epithelium in the 
kidney
Necrosis of the pancreas
Necrosis of lymphatic node in case of 
tuberculosis
Necrosis of pulmonary tissue
Outcomes of necrosis 
• Rezolution with subsequent regeneration of tissue 
• Organization 
• Capsule formation 
• Petrification 
• Cyst formation 
• Sequestration 
• Saprogenic fusion of necrotic focus
Organization
back connection 
• You must write – 
• your name and group 
• Answers on my questions 
• There will be 4
Question 1 
• African student- boy has a close- friend – 
Russian student- girl. When they finish of 
education he decide back Africa. But at home 
he has a pretty wife. Girl was very pity - she 
take the knife and ….. 
• It will be direct or indirect necrosis? 
• What you will see inside cardiac cells ???
Question 2 
• African student- boy has a close- friend – 
Russian student- girl. When they finish of 
education he decide back Africa. But she does 
not want to live in Africa . Boy was very pity - 
he can not sleep, can not work, can not eat,- 
great stress - systemic spasms of blood 
vessels- hypoxia – in the heart it will be 
infarction 
• It will be direct or indirect necrosis? 
• What you will see inside cardiac cells ???
