The regionalization process by which the mammary line is specified. The mammary line is a ridge of epidermal cells that will form the mammary placodes. 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 anatomical structures of the mammary gland are generated and organized. Morphogenesis refers to the creation of shape. The mammary gland is a large compound sebaceous gland that in female mammals is modified to secrete milk. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter that contributes to the formation of the mammary line, placode or bud. The developmental process by which the mammary placode forms. The mammary placode is a transient lens shaped structure that will give rise to the mammary bud proper. The developmental process pertaining to the initial formation of an anatomical structure from unspecified parts. This process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure and ends when the structural rudiment is recognizable. 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 pertaining to the initial formation of the mammary gland from unspecified parts. The process begins with formation of the mammary line and ends when the solid mammary bud invades the primary mammary mesenchyme. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the mammary gland over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The mammary gland is a large compound sebaceous gland that in female mammals is modified to secrete milk. Its development starts with the formation of the mammary line and ends as the mature gland cycles between nursing and weaning stages. The process by which the anatomical structures of a gland are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
