Abstract

|
|
In order to observe some possible relationships between the growth of organs, which show enormous growth in the later stage of the intrauterine life, and the growth of the vertebral column, the relative growth of the weight of the body, heart, liver, pancreas and the kidney to the vertebral column were observed in 109 cases of the Korean fetus from 5th month to 10th month.
The relative growthes of the various organs to vertebral column were analysed by Huxley-Teissiet´ s method.
The results were as follows;
1) The relative growth of .the weight of the body, heart, liver, pancreas and the kidney to the whole vertebral length showed "positive allometry."
The coefficient of the relative growth was largest in the pancreas, and then it was decreased as heart, the weight of the body, the kidney and´ the liver in decreasing order.
2) The relative growth of the organs to the length of cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacrococcygeal vertebrae showed "positive allometry".
The coefficient of the relative growth was largest in the pancreas, and then it was decreased as heart, the weight of the body, the kidney and the liver in decreasing order.
3) The growthes of the weight of various organs were nearly paralleled to the cubic of the vertebral column.
