Structures

Types

molecules (Proteins, Lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids...)
molecular complexes (proteic complexes...)
cellular organelles (cellular structures)
cells
tissular components
tissues (tissular structures)
organ components
organs
systems
body

A structure has Functions, that can be normal or pathological (functional anomalies).

A morphological anomaly of a structure is a lesion:

molecular lesions
cellular lesions
tissular lesions
organ lesions

Lesions can associate in lesional syndromes than can be observed in different diseases.

Each normal structure may be abnormal in pathological conditions:

structure anomalies
structure malformations
structure lesions
structure diseases
structure tumors
