The process by which the anatomical structure of superior vena cava generated and organized. The superior vena cava is a blood vessel that transports blood from the upper body to the heart. The process by which the anatomical structures of blood vessels are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The blood vessel is the vasculature carrying blood. The progression of the venous blood vessel over time from its initial formation to the mature structure. Venous blood vessels carry blood back to the heart after the capillary bed. The process by which the anatomical structures of venous blood vessels are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. Veins are blood vessels that transport blood from the body and its organs to the heart.
