ABSTRACT
The first appliances about Chaos Theory in the biological sciences, made by Robert May, turned visible thegrowth and appliance of this sciences in morphology or even in fisiology, when is stipulated the behaviorof very sensitive systems to different conditions, showing complex behavior. Behind this parameters, itwas stipulated a morphological study in microscopic and macroscopic scales for pathologic appliances andobtaining new parameters in the anatomy and histology field. We observed that the skin shows the greatestself-repetition pattern, being the largest organ in the human body. The circulatory system has its great blooddiffusion in function of a complex branched web of vases in a non-linear shape. It was observed a great fractalpatterns in the structure of the heart, and its frequency must be chaotic in function of the need of the humanbody 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 dynamicalprocess such as the cell differentiation.
