The process by which the anatomical structures of the lens are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The lens is a transparent structure in the eye through which light is focused onto the retina. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus. Signaling at short range between the head ectoderm and the optic vesicle that results in the head ectoderm forming a lens. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lens over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The lens is a transparent structure in the eye through which light is focused onto the retina. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus. Signaling at long or short range between cells that results in the commitment of a cell to a certain fate. The process by which the anatomical structures of the eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The camera-type eye is an organ of sight that receives light through an aperture and focuses it through a lens, projecting it on a photoreceptor field. Signaling at short range between cells or tissues of different ancestry and developmental potential that results in one cell or tissue effecting a developmental change in the other. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
