A phenomenon (Greek: φαινόμενον, phainómenon, from the verb phainein, to show, shine, appear, to be manifest or manifest itself, plural phenomena) is any thing which manifests itself. The study of phenomenons is phenomenology.
Phenomena are often, but not always, understood as "things that appear" or "experiences" for a sentient being, or in principle may be so.
In medicine , medical phenomenons include all manifestations of the disease in the human body , as symptoms , clinical signs , morphological anomalies , physiological anomalies.
Morphological anomalies generated in diseases are studied by morphological pathology , associating macroscopy (macroscopical anomalies ) and microscopy ( microscopical anomalies ), studied by histopathology and cytopathology.
