The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization of an epithelial cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a polarized epithelial cell. The polarized epithelial cell can be any of the cells within an epithelium where the epithelial sheet is oriented with respect to the planar axis. The specification and formation of the apicobasal polarity of an epithelial cell that contributes to the shaping of a camera-type eye. The specification and formation of the apicobasal polarity of an myocardial progenitor cell that contributes to the formation of the heart rudiment. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of an epithelial cell, any of the cells making up an epithelium. The specification and formation of the polarity of a cell along its apical/basal axis. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance polarization of a cell's architecture along its apical/basal axis so that the apical and basal regions of the cell have different membrane, extracellular matrix and sub-membrane cellular components. The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. The process by which the anatomical structures of a polarized epithelium are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A polarized epithelium is an epithelium where the epithelial sheet is oriented with respect to the planar axis. The specification and formation of the apicobasal polarity of an epithelial cell. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of the apicobasal polarity of an epithelial cell.
