- prostate field specification
The process that results in the delineation of a specific region of the urogenital sinus epithelium into the area in which the prostate gland will develop.
- heart field specification
The process that results in the delineation of a specific region of the lateral mesoderm into the area in which the heart will develop.
- kidney field specification
The process that results in the delineation of regions of the embryo into the area in which the kidney rudiment will develop.
- lung field specification
The process that results in the delineation of a specific region of the foregut into the area in which the lung will develop.
- bud field specification
The regionalization process in which the identity of a bud primordium is specified. Identity is considered to be the aggregate of characteristics by which a structure is recognized.
- pancreas field specification
The process in which a specific region of the gut is delineated into the area in which the pancreas will develop.
- primary heart field specification
The process that results in the delineation of a specific region of the lateral mesoderm into the area which will form the primary beating heart tube. In mammals the primary heart field gives rise to the left ventricle.
- secondary heart field specification
The process that results in the delineation of a specific region of the lateral mesoderm into the area which will form the majority of the mesodermal component of the right ventricle, arterial pole (outflow tract) and venous pole (inflow tract).
- regulation of secondary heart field cardioblast proliferation
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cardioblast proliferation in the second heart field. A cardioblast is a cardiac precursor cell. It is a cell that has been committed to a cardiac fate, but will undergo more cell division rather than terminally differentiating. The secondary heart field is the region of the heart that will form the majority of the mesodermal component of the right ventricle, the arterial pole (outflow tract) and the venous pole (inflow tract).
