structures, biological components
Definition : As a living organism , Homo sapiens is composed of many components or biological structures, organized in organ systems , organs , tissues contributing to functions.
Components or biological structures are biological entities assembled to form another biological components.
Pathology is the science of anomalies of these components observed in diseases.
These anomalies can modifed the number, the size or shape of these components can be observed by microscopy or macroscopy , and constitute morphological anomalies.
