The developmental process by which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. Extrusion of a cellular projection from the apical membrane of an epithelial cell in an imaginal disc-derived wing. Outgrowth initiates approximately 35 hours after puparium formation from the distal side of the cell, and at this stage the cellular extension is termed a prehair. Growth of a prehair in the approximately 10 hour period following its emergence from an epidermal cell in an imaginal disc-derived wing. Prehair elongation is guided and/or driven by the polymerization of actin filaments and the orderly crosslinking of filaments into bundles. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The process by which the anatomical structures of a neuron projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites. A process that is carried out at the cellular level and by which the structure of a cilium is organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. The process by which cellular structures, including whole cells or cell parts, are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the anatomical structures of a cytoneme are shaped. A cytoneme is a long, thin and polarized actin-based cytoplasmic extension that projects from a cell. The process by which the anatomical structures of a cell projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the anatomical structures of a cell part are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cellular component.
