Complete diet, optimal environment, comfortable, secure and free from fear. Should reach max production if given proper nutrition and environment. The same as production, should reach their potential. Finite abnormality of structure or function with an identifiable pathological basis and recognizable clinical signs (something you can see) Symptoms are what a person can express to you, and how they feel. Clinical sign is something we can observe. Not visible (may need a diagnostic test), but measurable in some way.

Abnormal structure or function present at birth (congenital)
