A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments. Includes processes that control the spatial distribution of actin filaments, such as organizing filaments into meshworks, bundles, or other structures, as by cross-linking.

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the dendrite over time, from its formation to the mature structure.

Any process that increases cell size.

The process in which the anatomical structures of a dendrite are generated and organized.

The process in which the population of cells that make up an epithelium undergo directed movement.

The attachment of an epithelial cell to another epithelial cell via adhesion molecules.

All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.

A small cell-cell adherens junction assembled during the cellularization stage of insect embyrogenesis; spot adherens junctions later fuse to form the zonula adherens.

A cell-cell adherens junction which forms a continuous belt near the apex of epithelial cells.

A dendrite that is found on a sensory neuron, and directly transduces a sensory signal from the sensory neuron to another neuron.
