The growth of the animal body, or any of its constituent organs and tissues is observable to all as a gradual increase in size. It is possible to study growth at several levels. It may be measured at the level of the organism proper; at the level of the tissues or organs; at the level of the cells and now, by chemical methods, even at the level of molecules. However, a growth is analyzed into its constituent parts, the problems of expressing the process have become manifold. Indeed, as Weiss (1949) staged, “It (growth) is not even a scientific term with defined and constant meaning, but a popular label that varies with accidental traditions, predilections, and purposes of the individual or school using it.”
