|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
The change of proportion of organ weights for the liver, intestines, lung, kidney, thymus, heart and spleen were analysed for 33 Japanese fetuses (sexes combined) by multivariate allometry. The thymus showed the highest allometric coefficient, and the spleen the next highest. The intestines, heart, liver, kidney showed medium coefficients, and the lung had the lowest.
