The differentiation of endothelial cells from progenitor cells that contributes to blood vessel development in the heart, and the de novo formation of blood vessels and tubes. |
venous blood vessel morphogenesis |
The process in which the anatomical structures of venous blood vessels are generated and organized. Veins are blood vessels that transport blood from the body and its organs to the heart. |
venous endothelial cell differentiation |
The process in which a relatively unspecialized endothelial cell acquires specialized features of a venous endothelial cell, a thin flattened cell that lines the inside surfaces of veins. |
ventricular septum morphogenesis |
The developmental process in which a ventricular septum is generated and organized. A ventricular septum is an anatomical structure that separates the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart from one another. |
ventricular trabecula myocardium morphogenesis |
The process in which the anatomical structures of the trabecular cardiac ventricle muscle are generated and organized. |
