AI overview
Pathology is the study of disease, encompassing a wide range of biology research and medical practices, though in modern medicine it typically refers more narrowly to specialized tests and processes that diagnose disease by analyzing tissue and cell samples. It matters because pathologists play a crucial role in identifying what diseases people have, which is essential for guiding treatment decisions.

病理学（びょうりがく）（英: pathology）とは、病気の原因、発生機序の解明や病気の診断を確定するのを目的とする、医学の一分野である。 細胞、組織、臓器の標本を、肉眼や顕微鏡などを用いて検査し、それらが病気に侵されたときにどういった変化を示すかについて研究する学問である。 歯科分野においては、口腔病理学という分野で存在し、歯学部に設置されている。
