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. The process by which the anatomical structures of the soma are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the anatomical structures of the face are generated and organized. The face is the ventral division of the head. The process by which the anatomical structures of the head are generated and organized. The head is the anterior-most division of the body. The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a head from an initial condition to its mature state. The head is the anterior-most division of the body. 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.
