Convergent extension, sometimes called convergence and extension (C&E), is the process by which the tissue of an embryo is restructured to converge (narrow) along one axis and extend (elongate) along a perpendicular axis by cellular movement. An example of this process is where the anteroposterior axis becomes longer as the lateral tissues move in towards the dorsal midline (the middle of the back of the animal).
