The process of apoptosis that contributes to the shaping of the heart. The process of apoptosis that contributes to the hollowing out of an epithelial rod or cord to form the central hole in a tube. The process of apoptosis that contributes to the shaping of the semicircular canal by removing cells in the fusion plate, forming the loops of the canals. The form of programmed cell death that triggers the activity of proteolytic caspases, whose actions dismantle the mammary epithelial cells resulting in their death. 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. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process of apoptosis that contributes to the shaping of an anatomical structure. Cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. 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. 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 apoptosis process in which the solid core of the gland is hollowed out to form the duct. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. The activation of endogenous cellular processes that result in the death of a cell as part of its development.
