A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. Lymph vessel formation when new vessels emerge from the proliferation of pre-existing vessels. The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an anatomical structure from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the structure and ends with the mature structure, whatever form that may be including its natural destruction. 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 process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process that regulates the coordinated growth and sprouting of lymph vessels giving rise to the organized lymphatic system. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lymphatic vasculature over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the vasculature over time, from its formation to the mature structure.
