#organogenesis
- Adenoblast — An immature, undifferentiated embryonic cell from which glandular structures and the secretory epithelium of the organism subsequently develop. This structural cellular element plays an essential role in organogenesis, undergoing a series of divisions and biochemical specializations to form the functional components of the endocrine and exocrine systems.
- Autoblast — An early embryonic cell or an autonomous cellular entity capable of self-development and independent differentiation without requiring direct stimulation from surrounding tissues. In an extended biological sense, it denotes a fundamental morphological unit endowed with an intrinsic proliferation dynamic, playing a crucial role in the primordial stages of organogenesis within complex organisms.
