his field includes not only embryonic development but also postnatal processes such as normal and neoplastic growth, metamorphosis, regeneration and tissue repair at levels of complexity ranging from the molecular to the organismal. The focus is on processes and concepts rather than specific morphologic structures.

Study Notes
Development
- An increase in the size or number of cells in the whole or any part of the organism is known as growth.
- Formation of body structures and organs is known as differentiation.
- Developmental biology is the study of the organism's development from fertilization to its resemblance to its adult form.
Developmental Biology
- Developmental biology includes embryonic development, as well as postnatal processes such as normal and neoplastic growth, metamorphosis, regeneration, and tissue repair.
- Developmental biology covers various levels of complexity, ranging from the molecular to the organismal.
- Developmental biology focuses on processes and concepts rather than specific morphologic structures.
Teratology
- Teratology deals with the causes and results of abnormal development or congenital malformations.
Congenital Malformation/Defect
- A congenital malformation or defect is a developmental disturbance in an organ or portion of an organ.
- A congenital malformation/defect may involve several organs and cause great distortion of the individual.
Descriptive Embryology
- Descriptive embryology is concerned with the direct observation and description of embryological development.
Comparative Embryology
- Comparative embryology studies, analyzes, and compares the embryological development of different species.
