Morbid Anatomy

About Course

Morbid Anatomy, also known as pathological anatomy, focuses on the structural and morphological changes in tissues and organs caused by disease. It is a core subject in medical and chiropractic education, helping students understand how illness alters normal anatomy and how these changes relate to clinical symptoms.

This course explores both gross (macroscopic) and microscopic changes in organs due to conditions such as inflammation, infection, degeneration, tumors, and trauma. Through this knowledge, students gain critical insight into disease progression, helping them make informed decisions in diagnosis and care.

Understanding morbid anatomy allows chiropractic professionals to better recognize the boundaries of manual care and refer patients appropriately when pathology lies outside their scope.

The structural changes in tissues and organs caused by disease
The difference between normal and pathological anatomy
The processes of inflammation, degeneration, necrosis, and neoplasia
How to identify gross and microscopic features of diseased organs
The clinical relevance of pathological changes in diagnosis and patient care
The foundational knowledge needed for further study in pathology and clinical sciences

This was my first time taking an online course.
The content is excellent, and the instructors are also excellent.
How much you learn from this course is pretty much what you put into it.
