## Key Concepts
### Core Developmental Processes
1. **Cell Division**: Mitosis, asymmetric division
2. **Cell Differentiation**: Specialization into cell types
3. **Cell Migration**: Movement during morphogenesis
4. **Apoptosis**: Programmed cell death
5. **Growth**: Cell expansion and division
### Signaling in Development
- Autocrine: Cell to itself
- Paracrine: To neighboring cells
- Juxtacrine: Contact-dependent
- Endocrine: Via bloodstream
### Types of Development
**Direct Development**
- No larval stage
- Direct to adult form
**Indirect Development**
- Egg → Larva → Pupa → Adult
- Complete metamorphosis
- Incomplete metamorphosis
### Stem Cells
- Pluripotent: Any cell type (embryonic)
- Multipotent: Related cell types (adult)
- Unipotent: Single cell type
