Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pathology is a branch of medical science that involves the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of surgically removed organs, tissues (biopsy samples), bodily fluids, and in some cases the whole body (autopsy).

Detailed explanation-2: -Pathology tests are tests to look at samples of the body’s tissues under a microscope. The tests help your doctor find or check on a condition. The tissue may come from a biopsy test, where a small piece of tissue is removed. Or it may come from removing an abnormal area (like a mole).

Detailed explanation-3: -Diagnostic pathology identifies the cause of disease based on morphologic and/or clinical pathology findings, as well as history, clinical signs, and ancillary test results. It is important in all areas of pathology, both in spontaneous and in experimentally-induced disease.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chemical Pathology or Biochemistry Biochemists or chemical pathologists examine all aspects of disease, identifying changes in various different substances found in the blood and bodily fluids such as proteins, hormones and electrolytes since these changes can indicate and provide clues about disease or disease risk.

Detailed explanation-5: -Necroscopy, radiography, urinalysis, microscopic examination of tissues, haematological tests and anatomical pathology are the different techniques used in pathology. Diagnostic microbiology is another technique where microorganisms are isolated, cultured and results are interpreted.
