"Analytical and quantitative morphology" is an integral applied branch of medical sciences that arose at the junction of classical morphology, cytology, histology and biometrics. Morphometric analysis is the process of obtaining quantitative and/or qualitative information from cytological, histological, and macroscopic specimens. Thus, the task of analytical and quantitative morphology is the development and application of methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis of various structures of a living organism (cells, subcellular structures, tissues, organs, etc.) used in biological morphometric studies, as well as patterns of changes in morphometric parameters in different morpho-functional states of the living system under different conditions in normal and pathological states. Among the studied methods are planimetric and stereometric methods, including work with computer morphometric programs, methods of volumetric calculations and both light and electron microscope image analysis, as well as features of statistical analysis of the results of morphometric studies
