Allometry

Japanese: アロメトリー(英語表記)allometry
Allometry
Relative growth is the quantitative relationship between parts of an organism, or between a part and the size or weight of the whole organism, or between physiological quantities (metabolism, lifespan, etc.), regardless of the organism's size. If the body size is considered similar, it is generally known that the body surface area is proportional to 2/3 of the body weight, and the metabolic rate is proportional to 3/4 of the body weight.
