First, the definition of pathological anatomy

Pathological anatomy is a branch of biology, which involves the structure and tissue of organisms and can be divided into animal anatomy and plant anatomy. Comparative anatomy (that is, animal morphology) in animal anatomy refers to the study of the structure between different animal species, while thematic anatomy is limited to the study of the structure of individual animals.

Second, the founding history of pathological anatomy:

1, anatomist Giovanni Batish Morgagni.

Italian anatomist Giovanni Batish Morgagni has made great contributions to the establishment of pathological anatomy. 177/kloc-0 was born in Foley, Italy on February 25th, and died in Padua on February 5th, 65438. He lost his father in his early years and entered the University of Bologna to study medicine at the age of 15. His teacher was A.M. Valsalva, who was an excellent student in the university at that time.

He is good at anatomical observation and attaches importance to the use of microscope. Therefore, Marcello Malpighi (M. Malpighi), Valsalva (Valsalva), albertini (I.F. albertini) and Morgagni (Morgagni) are called anatomical schools. 170 1 year, Morgagni received his doctorate and worked as an assistant in salva city, Dannvall province.

2. Works and articles

1704 co-authored The Theory of Human Ear with Valsalva, and 1705 published a paper Miscellaneous Anatomy, which recorded some important discoveries such as tracheal glands and urethral glands. Since then, he has published many articles in succession. 176 1 year, he published the most important book in his life, The Location and Etiology of Diseases, which contained hundreds of cases.

3. Draw a conclusion:

After observing hundreds of autopsies for many years, and comparing the clinical manifestations, causes of death and autopsy findings, it is proved that the symptoms of the disease are closely related to organ lesions, and there are sufficient facts that the disease is located in one or some organs.

Therefore, by observing the anatomical changes of organs, we can determine the nature of diseases and the causes of symptoms. Since then, the concept of focus has been established, which has promoted the development of modern clinical diagnostics and is known as the father of pathology.
