metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: All living organisms and many of their parts are organised in an essentially similar
  manner: they are closed cavitary bodies consisting of 1) the inner mass and
  2) a relatively thin sheath enclosing it. This organisation allows living bodies
  to change shape by employing hydrostatic forces. These forces are generally
  recognised to govern changes of shape in walled cells. To explain transformations
  of other organisms, other factors are usually sought. In this paper, the
  hydrostatic mechanism is represented as a universal mode of shape formation.
  It acts in all kinds of organisms, determining the course of diverse processes
  such as development of cell outgrowths, limb buds, gut derivatives and sense
  organs; endocytosis; cell division; branching of capillaries; gastrulation; cell locomotion;
  muscle contraction etc.
