  Teratology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teratology (from the Greek teras (genitive teratos), meaning monster, and logos meaning study) is the medical study of teratogenesis, congenital malformations or grossly deformed individuals.
Early teratologists exposed pregnant animals to environmental agents and observed the fetuses for gross visceral and skeletal abnormalities.
While this is still part of the teratological evaluation procedures today, the field of Teratology is moving to a more molecular level, seeking the mechanism(s) of action by which these agents act.

 Teratology
Teratology is the study of perceived abnormalities in the natural world, both real and imagined.
As doctors began to specialize, focusing on the medical fields of anatomy and embryology, by the middle of the 18th century, philosophers of “enlightenement” boldly set forth new theories that presented the monstrous as a non-metaphysical phenomenon.
In the first half of the 19th century, teratology became a science free from considerations of God’s direct interference in natural processes.
