Morphogenetic processes

Morphogenetic processes are the biological mechanisms that shape an organism during its development. They involve the coordinated movement, growth, and organization of cells to form tissues, organs, and body structures. These processes are guided by signals that direct cells on where to move and how to differentiate into specific cell types. Examples include the formation of the limbs, the development of the nervous system, and the arrangement of facial features. Essentially, morphogenetic processes are the dynamic steps that transform a simple cluster of cells into a complex, functional organism.
