This is often referred to as "organogenesis" because it occurs during development, where cells are specifically programmed to develop into a particular structure. In organogenesis, cells that normally do not differentiate (such as muscle cells) become specialized for a specific function. For example, the developing heart develops into a pump to regulate blood flow in the body, while neurons form into sensory and
