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 specification and formation of the polarity of a cell along its apical/basal axis. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance polarization of a cell's architecture along its apical/basal axis so that the apical and basal regions of the cell have different membrane, extracellular matrix and sub-membrane cellular components. Retaining the established polarization of a cell along its apical/basal axis. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of the apicobasal polarity of an epithelial cell.
