解剖实体的概念作为一个层次的无限分级的形式和观察到的解剖子实体和结构变量的数量的增加产生了越来越多的复杂性，从而突出了新的属性有组织的生物物质。(1)复杂性在解剖学世界中是如此普遍，以至于它已经被认为是解剖系统的主要特征。(2)从微观和宏观观察水平来看，解剖实体表现出不同程度的复杂性。(3)复杂性可以存在于解剖系统的结构中（具有许多不同的部分，具有不同的相互作用或复杂的架构）或其行为中。通常，结构和行为的复杂性是同时存在的。(4)复杂系统允许许多描述（观察系统的方式），每一种描述都只是部分正确。每一种看待复杂系统的方式都需要有自己的描述、自己的分析模式和自己对系统不同部分的分解;（5）几乎所有的解剖实体都表现出层次形式：它们在不同空间尺度上的组成结构或它们在不同时间尺度上的过程都是相互关联的。需要找到一种新的方法来观察和测量解剖实体，并客观地量化它们不同的结构变化，促使我们研究非欧几里得几何和复杂性理论，并将其概念应用于人体解剖学。这一尝试使我们反思所观察到的解剖实体的形状的复杂意义。它的变化已经被定义为与其状态的变化有关：从正常（即自然）到病理或改变状态，引入解剖形式的运动学和动力学概念，它们的变化速度以及它们的观察范围。
The conception of anatomical entities as a hierarchy of infinitely graduated forms and the increase in the number of observed anatomical sub-entities and structural variables has generated a growing complexity, thus highlighting new properties of organised biological matter. (1) Complexity is so pervasive in the anatomical world that it has come to be considered as a primary characteristic of anatomical systems. (2) Anatomical entities, when viewed at microscopic as well as macroscopic level of observation, show a different degree of complexity. (3) Complexity can reside in the structure of the anatomical system (having many diverse parts with varying interactions or an intricate architecture) or in its behaviour. Often complexity in structure and behaviour go together. (4) Complex systems admit many descriptions (ways of looking at the system) each of which is only partially true. Each way of looking at a complex system requires its own description, its own mode of analysis and its own breaking down of the system in different parts; (5) Almost all the anatomical entities display hierarchical forms: their component structures at different spatial scales or their process at different time scales are related to each other. The need to find a new way of observing and measuring anatomical entities, and objectively quantifying their different structural changes, prompted us to investigate the non-Euclidean geometries and the theories of complexity, and to apply their concepts to human anatomy. This attempt has led us to reflect upon the complex significance of the shape of an observed anatomical entity. Its changes have been defined in relation to variations in its status: from a normal (i.e. natural) to a pathological or altered state introducing the concepts of kinematics and dynamics of anatomical forms, speed of their changes, and that of scale of their observation.
