PathologicProcess	documentation A disordered process, activity, or state of the Organism as a whole, of a body system or systems, or of multiple Organs or Tissues. Included here are normal responses to a negative stimulus as well as patholologic conditions or states that are less specific than a disease. Pathologic functions frequently have systemic effects

Kinds of PathologicProcess :

• DiseaseOrSyndrome (1 kind, 5 facts) - A PathologicProcess which alters or interferes with a normal process, state or activity of an Organism. It is usually characterized by the abnormal functioning of one or more of the host's systems, parts, or Organs
• Injuring (1 kind, 8 facts) - A traumatic wound or injury caused by an external agent or force. Since no injury is possible without some biologic function which affects the organism being injured, it is a subclass of BiologicalProcess
