Pathophysiology Course
What will I learn?
Take a deep dive into the Pathophysiology Course designed for autopsy professionals, where you'll explore the ins and outs of atherosclerosis. Understand what causes it, the things that make it more likely to happen, and how common it is. You'll also look at what you find in autopsies by linking the patient's medical history with what you see under the microscope and with the naked eye. Get a good understanding of what's happening at the cell and molecule level when plaques form, what macrophages do, and how genes play a role. See how the disease process affects the body and learn about problems with the lining of blood vessels, build-up of fats, and inflammation. Improve your knowledge of diseases that affect the heart arteries, brain arteries, and arteries in the legs and arms. Think about why understanding disease processes is important in medical practice and for future research.
