The process of apoptosis that contributes to the reorganization of tissue resulting in the maturation of the atrial ventricular junction. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the heart over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. The process of apoptosis that contributes to the shaping of the heart. The apoptosis process that contributes to the shaping of a heart valve. The developmental process by which the heart is generated and organized. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. The apoptosis process that contributes to the shaping of an endocardial cushion. The endocardial cushion is a specialized region of mesenchymal cells that will give rise to the heart septa and valves. The apoptosis process that contributes to the shaping of the outflow tract. The outflow tract is the portion of the heart through which blood flows into the arteries. A form of programmed cell death that begins when a cell receives internal or external signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, proceeds through a series of characteristic stages typically including rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), and plasma membrane blebbing (but maintenance of its integrity until the final stages of the process), and ends with the death of the cell. 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 of apoptosis that contributes to the shaping of an anatomical structure. The activation of endogenous cellular processes that result in the death of a cell as part of its development. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
