Systems Toxicologic Pathology

Toxicologic pathology combines the disciplines of pathology and toxicology and also draws from many related biomedical fields. The field of toxicologic pathology requires knowledge of both pathology and toxicology, so that integration of morphological and functional changes can be evaluated with respect to their biological significance following exposure to a xenobiotic. This is particularly true in the assessment of the safety, efficacy, and quality of chemicals for human use.
