The process whose specific outcome is the progression of sensory organs over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the inner ear over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process by which the anatomical structures of the ear are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The ear is the sense organ in vertebrates that is specialized for the detection of sound, and the maintenance of balance. Includes the outer ear and middle ear, which collect and transmit sound waves; and the inner ear, which contains the organs of balance and (except in fish) hearing. Also includes the pinna, the visible part of the outer ear, present in some mammals. Development of a tissue or tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Development pertains to the process whose specific outcome is the progression of a structure over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that work together to perform a specific function or functions.
