The developmental process by which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. The maintenance of an established polarized embryonic epithelial sheet. The process by which the anatomical structures of embryonic epithelia are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. 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. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of anisotropic intracellular organization of epithelial cells in an embryo. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized during the embryonic phase. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The embryonic phase begins with zygote formation. The end of the embryonic phase is organism-specific. For example, it would be at birth for mammals, larval hatching for insects and seed dormancy in plants. The process by which the anatomical structures of epithelia are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. An epithelium consists of closely packed cells arranged in one or more layers, that covers the outer surfaces of the body or lines any internal cavity or tube.
