[Dynamics of the distribution of variables in morphology].
This paper discusses examples of exponentially distributed, Poisson-distributed, and binomially distributed random variables from morphology and describes secular and historical processes as well as phenomena of aging as factors of the dynamics of such distributions, the major focus being on tests of morphometric variables for the existence of normal distributions. In those cases where hypotheses of the existence of particular distributions of random morphometric variables are established it is necessary that consideration be given to metrological and stereological factors pertaining to the process of measuring and the geometry of the structures being measured, respectively. Karyometric results are used to demonstrate the splitting of a single statistical population into several populations as a result of the process of aging of the human organism.
