Abstract

The first appliances about Chaos Theory in the biological sciences, made by Robert May, turned visible the growth and appliance of this sciences in morphology or even in fisiology, when is stipulated the behavior of very sensitive systems to different conditions, showing complex behavior. Behind this parameters, it was stipulated a morphological study in microscopic and macroscopic scales for pathologic appliances and obtaining new parameters in the anatomy and histology field. We observed that the skin shows the greatest self-repetition pattern, being the largest organ in the human body. The circulatory system has its great blood diffusion in function of a complex branched web of vases in a non-linear shape. It was observed a great fractal patterns in the structure of the heart, and it’s frequency must be chaotic in function of the need of the human body and specific activities to avoid muscular hyperplasia. Bones and articulations denote dynamic interaction, what permit temporal adaptations such as the formation of the cranial bone sutures. The encephalic anatomy, specially the sulcus, got a self-repetition pattern. The following step was to stipulate these concepts in dynamical process such as the cell differentiation.
