Which term means study of disease?

• A. Pathology
• B. Neurology
• C. Cardiology
• D. Enterology

Answer: (A)

Pathology is the study of disease. It focuses on how diseases change the body's structure and function, from cellular and tissue alterations to organ-level effects, using tissue samples, laboratory tests, and sometimes autopsy findings to understand what went wrong. Neurology studies the nervous system, cardiology the heart and blood vessels, and gastroenterology (not enterology as a standard term) deals with the digestive tract. So pathology best fits the definition of studying disease.
