Abstract
A methodical approach is a prerequisite for an accurate diagnosis and requires a description of the tissue changes that occur following infectious and non-infectious conditions. Cells have a limited repertoire of morphological response to injury which is linked to biochemical mechanisms that determine the outcome of cell damage, thus accounting for the appearance of cells within lesions inducing general pathological changes, rather than those that are pathognomonic. This chapter covers the different types of cell and tissue responses to acute or chronic injury.
