Arch Teratology

Arch Teratology is the scientific study of abnormal development and birth defects that occur during early stages of an organism's formation in the womb. It examines how and why certain structures, organs, or body parts may develop incorrectly due to genetic factors, environmental influences, or unknown causes. By understanding these processes, researchers aim to identify risk factors, prevent defects, and improve treatments. Essentially, it helps us understand the origins of congenital anomalies and the mechanisms behind their formation during fetal development.
