General Information
Term morphogenesis of a polarized epithelium ID (Ontology) GO:0001738 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The morphogenetic process in which the anatomical structures of a polarized epithelium are generated and organized. A polarized epithelium is an epithelium where the epithelial sheet is oriented with respect to the planar axis.
Also Known As"epithelial polarization"
