GlossaryMorphogenesis

biological process shaping organism's structure through cell organization

Morphogenesis is the biological process that causes an organism to develop its shape. It involves the coordinated growth, differentiation, and spatial organization of cells and tissues, which ultimately leads to the formation of structures like organs and limbs. This process is crucial in embryonic development and is regulated by genetic and environmental factors.
