Systemic Anatomy

Abstract Systemic anatomy is a new theoretical discipline that studies the structure of the systemic organization of living organisms at both Newtonian and quantum scales. Unlike classical anatomy, which describes the organism primarily as an organomorphological complex with structural elements performing fixed functions, systems anatomy views the organism as a hierarchical systemic entity. Within this approach, the same element at different levels of systemic organization (LSO) can perform different systemic functions depending on its position in the systemic hierarchy. Each organism represents a dichotomous systemic structure, the elements of which function as the system's information input and output. Input elements control centripetal information flows, while output elements control centrifugal flows. This organization ensures the structural integrity, reproducibility, and adaptive stability of living systems, whereas classical anatomy describes elements primarily in terms of physiological functions.
