The formation from simpler components of a fatty acid, any of the aliphatic monocarboxylic acids that can be liberated by hydrolysis from naturally occurring fats and oils. Fatty acids are predominantly straight-chain acids of 4 to 24 carbon atoms, which may be saturated or unsaturated; branched fatty acids and hydroxy fatty acids also occur, and very long chain acids of over 30 carbons are found in waxes.

The process by which the anatomical structures of neurocranium are generated and organized during the embryonic phase. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The neurocranium is the portion of the vertebrate skull surrounding the brain.

The process by which the anatomical structures of viscerocranium are generated and organized during the embryonic phase. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The viscerocranium is the part of the skull comprising the facial bones.

The metabolic oxidation of a long-chain fatty acid by successive cycles of reactions during each of which the fatty acid is shortened by a two-carbon fragment removed as acetyl coenzyme A.

The process by which the anatomical structures of skeleton are generated and organized during the embryonic phase. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.

The process by which a fatty acid becomes unsaturated (containing double bonds), for example by removal of two hydrogen atoms, or a hydrogen atom and a hydroxyl group, from adjacent carbon atoms.

The process by which the anatomical structures of skeleton are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.

The chemical reactions involving acyl-CoA, any derivative of coenzyme A in which the sulfhydryl group is in thiolester linkage with a fatty-acyl group.

The process, occurring during the embryonic phase, whose specific outcome is the progression of the skeleton over time, from its formation to the mature structure.

The chemical reactions involving neutral lipids, lipids only soluble in solvents of very low polarity.

The chemical reactions involving acylglycerol, any mono-, di- or triester of glycerol with (one or more) fatty acids.
