		Historically pathology closely followed anatomy in setting the foundations of medicine as a science; today pathology is most frequently practised through routine and complex laboratory tests of tissue and fluids from the living that help to choose the correct diagnosis.
		Forensic practice is also found in applied sciences (engineering, psychology), in accounting, in biological sciences (entomology, anthropology and botany) and other areas where experts provide opinion evidence in civil or criminal proceeding, often before a court of law.
		Criminally related acts with weapons invoking injury (assault, child abuse) or death involve expert interpretation of wounds and the relationship of wounds to the supposed weapon(s), the amount of force, and the effect of preexisting disease on an apparently violent death.
