The developmental process by which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the anatomical structures of a follicular epithelium are 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. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of a polarized follicular epithelial sheet. 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. Polarization of the ovarian follicle cells along the dorsal/ventral axis. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster. Polarization of the follicle cells of an insect ovary along the anterior/posterior axis. Coordinated organization of groups of cells in the plane of a follicular epithelium, such that they all orient to similar coordinates. 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. The maintenance of an established polarized follicular epithelial sheet.
