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. 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 maintenance of the apicobasal polarity of a neuroblast cell, a progenitor of the central nervous system. Retaining the established polarization of a cell along its apical/basal axis. The maintenance of established anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns.
