The process by which the anatomical structures of a dendrite are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A dendrite is a freely branching protoplasmic process of a nerve cell. The developmental process by which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The regrowth of neuronal processes such as axons or dendrites in response to their loss or damage. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a neuron over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The process by which the anatomical structures of a neuron projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. Generation of a long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells. The process by which the anatomical structures of a cell projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a neuron projection over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites (collectively called neurites). The process by which the anatomical structures of a cell part are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
