The process by which the anatomical structures of an imaginal disc-derived leg joint are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The leg joint is a flexible region that separates the rigid sections of a leg to allow movement in a controlled manner. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. Division of a leg into a series of semi-repetitive parts or segments. Most arthropod appendages are visibly segmented; the Drosophila leg for example has nine segments, each separated from the next by a flexible joint. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process, occurring in the embryo, by which the anatomical structures of the leg joint are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A leg joint is a flexible region that separates the rigid sections of a leg to allow movement in a controlled manner. The process by which the anatomical structures of a leg joint are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The leg joint is a flexible region that separates the rigid sections of a leg to allow movement in a controlled manner. One example is the knee, which separates the leg tibia and femur. The process by which the anatomical structures of a leg are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A leg is a limb on which an animal walks and stands. Division of an appendage, an organ or part that is attached to the main body of an organism, into a series of semi-repetitive parts or segments. Most arthropod appendages, such as the legs and antennae, are visibly segmented. 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. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
