The process by which the embryonic placenta is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The change in form (cell shape and size) that occurs when a trophoblast cell elongates to contribute to the branching of the placenta. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The process by which the labyrinthine layer of the placenta progresses, from its formation to its mature state. The process by which the labyrinthine layer of the placenta is generated and organized. The process by which the branches of the fetal placental villi are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The villous part of the placenta is called the labyrinth layer. The embryonically driven process whose specific outcome is the progression of the placenta over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The placenta is an organ of metabolic interchange between fetus and mother, partly of embryonic origin and partly of maternal origin. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an embryo from its formation until the end of its embryonic life stage. The end of the embryonic stage is organism-specific. For example, for mammals, the process would begin with zygote formation and end with birth. For insects, the process would begin at zygote formation and end with larval hatching. For plant zygotic embryos, this would be from zygote formation to the end of seed dormancy. For plant vegetative embryos, this would be from the initial determination of the cell or group of cells to form an embryo until the point when the embryo becomes independent of the parent plant. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized during the embryonic phase. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The embryonic phase begins with zygote formation. The end of the embryonic phase is organism-specific. For example, it would be at birth for mammals, larval hatching for insects and seed dormancy in plants. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the anatomical structures of branches are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A branch is a division or offshoot from a main stem. Examples in animals would include blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics and other endothelial or epithelial tubes.
