This dissertation presents three treatments of mathematical modeling to two relevant areas of biological application.We apply foam physics to the morphometry of cell packings of notochords, elastic membrane physics to notochord biomechanics, and the theory of morphoelasticity to morphogenesis in the developing stomach. The notochord is the defining feature of chordates, and during development it lengthens the embryo, provides…
