Agglutination reaction. Agglutination refers to a clumping that occurs when an antigen comes into contact with its corresponding antibody. This process mimics what happens in the body when antibodies cause antigens to agglutinate, promoting easy removal of the infectious organism.
Cytopathology is a branch of pathology involving the study and diagnosis of diseases at the cellular level using a light microscope. Traditionally the discipline has been divided into cervical cytopathology (commonly referred to as cervical cytology) and diagnostic cytopathology. Diagnostic cytology is mainly used for diagnosis of cancer in many parts of the body.
Abstract. Paleopathology is the study of diseases in ancient organisms. The lives of hominid fossils, prehistoric people, and people from the recent past are better understood if evidence for health and disease derived from their remains is considered. Some diseases can be diagnosed from ancient skeletons and mummies.
