1. 1 Scientific Aims In recent years, there has been a definite
trend away from the casuistic scientific thinking which has
dominated the scientific world, at least in the field of medicobi
ological research. Now, in the last decade of this century,
scientists are returning to a conceptual way of thinking that
characterized the beginning of this century, namely organismal
thinking. The holistic concept is not a new one; it was rekindled
by a small group of scientists who, in the previous two decades,
have begun to warn against too great an emphasis being placed on a
molecular casuistic approach as the final pursuit to science (see
Duncker 1983). These thinkers were perhaps instrumental in helping
to turn the tide, to instruct and encourage fellow researchers to
extend their findings from the molecular and to the organismal (see
Duncker 1983, 1992a, b; Duncker and Kreite 1987). Having observed
the ceca of many different animals for many years and having
described their morphology at different levels of study -from the
macroscopic to the electron microscopy level - the need to compare
and observe these morphological entities in a quantitiative way
became increasingly imminent. Quantitative methodol ogy in
morphology requires the use of morphometry, which in the most
general terms can be described as the measurement of the forms of
animals. As defined by Reith and Meyhew (1988), it is quantitative
morphology, i. e., the measurement of structures by any method,
including stereology."
