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. 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 regionalization process that divides an organism or part of an organism into a series of semi-repetitive parts, or segments, often arranged along a longitudinal axis. 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 process by which the anatomical structures of appendages are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. An appendage is an organ or part that is attached to the trunk of an organism, such as a limb or a branch. The process by which the anatomical structures of a limb are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A limb is an appendage of an animal used for locomotion or grasping. Examples include legs, arms or some types of fin.
