Preferred Label : body patterning;
MeSH definition : The processes occurring in early development that direct morphogenesis. They specify
the body plan ensuring that cells will proceed to differentiate, grow, and diversify
in size and shape at the correct relative positions. Included are axial patterning,
segmentation, compartment specification, limb position, organ boundary patterning,
blood vessel patterning, etc.;
