2. the study of causes of diseases is pathology.
3. prognosis means \the art of identifying a disease.\
4. neoplasm means

ew disease.\

1. something caused by injury is termed iatrogenic
2. an increase in the number of red blood cells is called erythrocyte.

Explanation:

1. Histology is defined as the study of biological tissues, so this statement is accurate.
2. Pathology is the broad study of disease (including causes, effects, etc.); the specific study of disease causes is etiology, making this false.
3. Prognosis refers to predicting a disease's outcome; identifying a disease is diagnosis, so this is false.
4. Neoplasm specifically means a new abnormal growth (tumor), not a new disease, so this is false.
5. Iatrogenic refers to conditions caused by medical treatment, not injury; injury-caused conditions are traumatic, so this is false.
6. An erythrocyte is a single red blood cell; an increase in their number is erythrocytosis, so this is false.
