Abstract
The asymptotic allometric equations are derived by considering the relative growth of different physiological and anatomical quantities. The growth rate is assumed to be proportional to the value of the quantity, where the proportion coefficient depends on time. The allometric exponents are calculated for some organs of man and compared with the experimental values for primates. The exponents are generally time-dependent during the growth. The effect of the choice of the origin of time axis on the asymptotic allometric exponents is studied.
