Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "congenital abnormality" is a more accurate and commonly used term to refer to birth defects. "Birth illness" is not an accurate term as not all birth defects result in illness, and "prenatal pathology" is a broad term that includes many different conditions that may or may not be birth defects. "Teratogenesis" refers specifically to the process of causing birth defects, not the defects themselves.
