Problems and terminology of functional teratology

Possible causes for the teratogenesis of fundamental processes of life are explained. Hence, it is suggested that traditional teratology, i.e. teratomorphology (developmental pathomorphology) should be completed by teratophysiology (developmental pathophysiology), teratopsychology (developmental pathopsychology), and teratoimmunology (developmental pathoimmunology), as developmental biology can be also subdivided into developmental morphology, developmental physiology, developmental psychology and developmental immunology.
