Any developmental process that results in the creation of defined areas or spaces within an organism to which cells respond and eventually are instructed to differentiate. The regionalization process by which the mammary line is specified. The mammary line is a ridge of epidermal cells that will form the mammary placodes. The process by which a specific region of the foregut is delineated into the area in which the lung will develop. The pattern specification process by which an axis or axes is subdivided in space to define an area or volume in which specific patterns of cell differentiation will take place or in which cells interpret a specific environment. The process by which a specific region of the lateral mesoderm is delineated into the area in which the heart will develop. The interaction of two or more cells or tissues that causes them to change their fates and specify the development of an organ. The process pertaining to the initial formation of an organ from unspecified parts. The process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure, such as inductive events, and ends when the structural rudiment of the organ is recognizable, such as a condensation of mesenchymal cells into the organ rudiment. Organs are a natural part or structure in an animal or a plant, capable of performing some special action (termed its function), which is essential to the life or well-being of the whole. The heart and lungs are organs of animals, and the petal and leaf are organs of plants. In animals the organs are generally made up of several tissues, one of which usually predominates, and determines the principal function of the organ. The process by which a specific region of the gut is delineated into the area in which the pancreas will develop. The developmental process pertaining to the initial formation of an anatomical structure from unspecified parts. This process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure and ends when the structural rudiment is recognizable. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. The regionalization process by which the identity of an organ primordium is specified. Identity is considered to be the aggregate of characteristics by which a structure is recognized. The process by which the identity of a floral organ primordium is specified. Identity is considered to be the aggregate of characteristics by which a structure is recognized. Morphogenesis of an organ. An organ is defined as a tissue or set of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Morphogenesis is the process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that work together to perform a specific function or functions. The process by which regions of the embryo are delineated into the area in which the kidney rudiment will develop. The process by which a specific region of the urogenital sinus epithelium is delineated into the area in which the prostate gland will develop.
