Abstract Background The conception of anatomical entities as a hierarchy of infinitely graduated forms and the increase in the number of observed anatomical sub-entities and structural variables has generated a growing complexity thus highlighting new properties of organised biological matter. Results 1 Complexity is so pervasive in the anatomical world that it has come to be considered as a primary characteristic of anatomical systems. 2 Anatomical entities when viewed at microscopic as well as macroscopic level of observation show a different degree of complexity. 3 Complexity can reside in the structure of the anatomical system having many diverse parts with varying interactions or an intricate architecture or in its behaviour. Often complexity .
