Popis: The ideographical approach aimed at detecting specific causative relationships within the process of development prevails in modern embryology. The present work considers the possibilities of using the nomothetic approach aimed at putting forward nonspecific general laws based on the general scientific theory of self-organization and can be formulated in morphomechanical terms based on feedback links between passive and active mechanical stress. The perspectives of this approach and the involvement of genetic factors in the regulation of feedback links are discussed.
