MORPHOGENESIS AND ORGANOGENESIS IN AMINALS
9. MORPHOGENESIS AND ORGANOGENESIS IN AMINALS
Morphogenesis is one of the fundamental biological processes that promote an organism to develop its shape along with the control of cell growth and cellular differentiation. This process controls the embryonic development of an organism and describes the evolution of a body structure within a taxonomic group. The process may be induced in organisms by hormones, environmental cues like toxic chemicals or radionuclides released as pollutants and mechanical stresses induced by spatial patterning of the cells.
Organogenesis is the series of organized integrated processes by which the ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm develop into the internal organs of the organism or in general, it is the process of development of an organism from foetus to the embryo.
