The morphogenetic process in which an epithelium narrows along one axis and lengthens in a perpendicular axis contributing to the lengthening of the axis of an organism. The morphogenetic process in which an epithelium narrows along one axis and lengthens in a perpendicular axis. The developmental growth that results in the elongation of a line that defines polarity or symmetry in an anatomical structure. The increase in size or mass of an anatomical structure that contributes to the structure attaining its shape. 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. The morphogenetic process in which a presomitic mesoderm narrows along the left-right axis and lengthens in the rostral-caudal axis contributing to somitogenesis.
