The process whereby a bud in the lung increases radially. The morphogenetic process in which an epithelium narrows along one axis and lengthens in a perpendicular axis contributing to the lengthening of the axis of an organism. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell, where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the organism over time from one condition to another. The series of molecular signals initiated by binding of a Wnt protein to a receptor on the surface of the target cell where activated receptors signal to modulate cytoskeletal elements and control cell polarity that contributes to axis elongation. The developmental growth that results in the elongation of a line that defines polarity or symmetry in an anatomical structure. The growth process by which a branch increases in length from its base to its tip. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The increase in size or mass of an anatomical structure that contributes to the structure attaining its shape. The developmental growth that results in the elongation of the rostral-caudal axis that contributes to somitogenesis.
