The attachment of one cell to another cell along the edges of two epithelial folds, giving rise to the lumen of an epithelial tube. Creation of the central hole of a tube in an anatomical structure by sealing the edges of an epithelial fold. 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. Creation of the central hole of the semicircular canal by sealing the edges of the pouch that forms ruing the process of semicircular canal formation. The process by which the anatomical structures of a tube are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. Epithelial and endothelial tubes transport gases, liquids and cells from one site to another and form the basic structure of many organs and tissues, with tube shape and organization varying from the single-celled excretory organ in Caenorhabditis elegans to the branching trees of the mammalian kidney and insect tracheal system. Creation of the central hole of a tube in an anatomical structure through which gases and/or liquids flow. The last step in the formation of the neural tube, where the paired neural folds are brought together and fuse at the dorsal midline. Creation of the central hole of the embryonic heart tube by sealing the edges of an epithelial fold.
