The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an epithelium over time, from its formation to the mature structure. An epithelium is a tissue that covers the internal or external surfaces of an anatomical structure. The morphogenesis of an embryonic epithelium into a tube-shaped structure. The process by which the anatomical structures of the neural plate are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The neural plate is a specialized region of columnar epithelial cells in the dorsal ectoderm that will give rise to nervous system tissue. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an embryo from its formation until the end of its embryonic life stage. The end of the embryonic stage is organism-specific. For example, for mammals, the process would begin with zygote formation and end with birth. For insects, the process would begin at zygote formation and end with larval hatching. For plant zygotic embryos, this would be from zygote formation to the end of seed dormancy. For plant vegetative embryos, this would be from the initial determination of the cell or group of cells to form an embryo until the point when the embryo becomes independent of the parent plant. 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 anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The morphogenetic process whereby the foregut region specified to become the lung forms the initial left and right buds. The process by which the anatomical structures of a tissue are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. Internalization of the anterior midgut into the interior of the embryo. The process of joining together the neural folds at either end of the neural tube. The process whereby the neural folds are fused extending from the initial closure points. The process during Drosophila embryogenesis whereby the ectodermal cells of the lateral epithelium stretch in a coordinated fashion to internalize the amnioserosa cells and close the embryo dorsally. The last step in the formation of the neural tube, where the paired neural folds are brought together and fuse at the dorsal midline. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the neural plate over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The neural plate is a flat, thickened layer of ectodermal cells. The underlying dorsal mesoderm signals the ectodermal cells above it to elongate into columnar neural plate cells. The neural plate subsequently develops into the neural tube, which gives rise to the central nervous system. The process by which the edges of the neural plate thicken and move up to form a U-shaped structure called the neural groove. The joining together of the neural folds of the caudal opening of the neural tube. The posterior neuropore appears before the process of neural tube closure is complete. The joining together of the neural folds of the rostral opening of the neural tube. The anterior neuropore appears before the process of neural tube closure is complete. The process by which the anatomical structures of embryonic epithelia 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 of epithelial cells in an embryo. The invagination of the optic vesicle to form two-walled indentations, the optic cups, that will go on to form the retina. This process begins with the optic vesicle becoming a two-walled structure and its subsequent shape changes. It does not include the fate commitment of cells to become the pigmented retina and the neural retina. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus. The morphogenetic process whereby a region of the fetal urogenital sinus epithelium is specified to become the prostate, resulting in prostate bud outgrowth. The morphogenetic process by which a bud forms from the mammary placode. A mammary bud is bulb of epithelial cells that is distinct from the surrounding epidermis. The process by which the mammary gland cord forms by elongation of the mammary bud. The cord is formed once the elongating bud breaks through the mesenchyme and reaches the fat pad. The process by which the anatomical structures of the anterior midgut (ectodermal) are generated and organized, during the embryonic phase. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. 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.
