The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a photoreceptor cell, as found in the eye, the primary visual organ of most organisms. The process by which the anatomical structures of the compound eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The adult compound eye is a precise assembly of 700-800 ommatidia. Each ommatidium is composed of 20 cells, identified by cell type and position. An example of compound eye morphogenesis is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the eye over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The eye is the organ of sight. The process by which the anatomical structures of the larval eye in Drosophila are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The larval eye in Drosophila is a relatively simple sensory system composed of Bolwig's organs: two clusters, each composed of 12 photoreceptor cells from which axons extend in a single fascicle to the brain. The process by which the anatomical structures of the eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. 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. The process by which the anatomical structures of the eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The camera-type eye is an organ of sight that receives light through an aperture and focuses it through a lens, projecting it on a photoreceptor field. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of sensory organs over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process, occurring after embryonic development, by which the anatomical structures of the eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The eye is the organ of sight. Programmed cell death that occurs in the developing retina. Morphogenesis of an organ. An organ is defined as a tissue or set of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Morphogenesis is the process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. 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. The process occurring in the embryo by which the anatomical structures of the post-embryonic eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
