- Definition
- The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an anatomical structure from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the structure and ends with the mature structure, whatever form that may be including its natural destruction.

Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. [source:
