Quote pp. 119-123 

Am oberen Ende des Oberschenkelbeines fällt der an einem Halse sitzende Kopf, Caput femoris in die Augen, mit einem Grübchen, Foveola, zur Anheftung des Lig. teres. An der Uebergangsstelle des Halses in das Mittelstück stehen die beiden Rollhügel, der grosse äussere, Trochanter major, und der kleine innere, Trochanter minor; dieselben sind durch die Linea intertrochanterica anterior und posterior vereinigt. Nach innen vom grossen Trochanter liegt die Fossa trochanterica (Fig. 166). An der hinteren Fläche des Mittelstückes springt die in 2 Lefzen (Labia) gespaltene Linea aspera femoris vor (F. 166).

Das untere Ende ist mit 2 Knorren, Condylus externus und Condylus internus, versehen, deren jeder eine Tuberosität besitzt. Die Knorren sind an der hinteren Seite durch die Fossa poplitea von einander getrennt. (Fig. 166).

Das Oberschenkelbein ist mit 3 Knochen gelenkig verbunden: mit dem Hüftbeine, dem Schienbeine, und der Kniescheibe

166. Das rechte Oberschenkelbein, Os femoris, von hinten [fragment, left].
167. Das rechte Oberschenkelbein, Os femoris,von hinten, mit den Muskelansätzen [fragment, right].


168. Das rechte Hüftgelenk, Articulatio coxae, von vorne.

Die fibröse Kapsel des Hüftgelenkes inserirt am Umfange des knöchernen Pfannenrandes einerseits, und an der Vorderseite des Oberschenkelknochens an der Linea intertrochanterica anterior andererseits. Als Verstärkung der vorderen Kapselwand dient das kräftige, von der Spina anterior inferior des Darmbeines entspringende Ligamentum Bertini, welches zum Theile zur Linea intertrochanterica anterior herabsteigt (Fig 154), zum Theile mit 2 Schenkeln den Oberschenkelhals als Zona orbicularis Weberi umschlingt (Fig. 156).

169. Das rechte Hüftgelenk, Articulatio coxae, eröffnet.

Am knöchernen Umfange der Pfanne haftet ringsum ein faserknorpeliger Ring, Limbus cartilagineus acetabuli; an der Stelle der Incisura acetabuli bildet dieser Ring eine Brücke. Von der Foveola des Oberschenkelkopfes zieht zur nicht überknorpelten Fovea acetabuli das runde Band, Ligamentum teres. Die fibröse Kapsel des Hüftgelenkes ist in der Figur aufgeschnitten und zurückgelegt dargestellt; es wird ersichtlich, dass an der vorderen Seite der Schenkelhals vollständig von der Kapsel eingehüllt ist.

170. Das rechte Hüftgelenk, Articulatio coxae, im Durchschnitte.

Die fibröse Kapsel, an der vorderen Seite des Gelenkes sehr stark, ist am hinteren Umfange desselben weit schwächer, und haftet nicht an der Linea intertrochanterica posterior, sondern indem sie sich umbiegt, an der hinteren Fläche des Schenkelhalses. Das Ligamentum teres steigt von der Incisura acetabuli zur Foveola des Oberschenkelkopfes senkrecht hinauf; dasselbe ist von der Synovialkapsel eingehüllt. Die Abbildung zeigt auch die eigenthümlich angeordnete Knochenstructur des Oberschenkelhalses und des Kopfes.

Quote p. 215

Die vorderen Aeste der 4. hypogastrica sind:

a) Die A. obturatoria geht in Begleitung des N. obturatorius durch den Canalis obturatorius, und zerfällt am oberen Rande des M. obturatorius in einen Ramus anterior und einen posterior. Der erstere verästelt sich im M. adductor femoris longus et brevis, pectineus und gracilis; der letztere sendet die A. acetabuli zum Lig. teres des Oberschenkelkopfes und löst sich schliesslich in den Auswärtsrollern auf.

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).

  On the Role of the Ligamentum Capitis Femoris  in the Maintenance of Different Types of Erect Posture S.V. Arkhipov Keywords: ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres, ligament of head of femur, abductor muscle group, role,  function, hip joint, model, biomechanics, walk, gait cycle, single-legged stance  ABSTRACT New experimental and clinical data on the function of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and its participation in maintaining an erect posture were obtained. It was established that this anatomical element is involved in constraining the hip joint adduction and may fi x the joint in the frontal plane, turning it into an analogue of a second-class lever. In both unstrained one-support and asymmetrical two-support orthostatic postures, when the LCF is stretched and the abductor muscle group is exerted, a load equal to the body weight is evenly distributed between the upper and lower hemispheres of the caput femoris. In addition, the LCF fu...

THE ROLE OF THE HIP JOINT LIGAMENTS

  The role of the hip joint ligaments Ligaments tighten when the pelvis tilts, support the body, and correct the movement of the center of mass. A horizontal position of the pelvis in a single-leg stance and during walking is pathological.

Australopithecus afarensis

  AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS In 1735, Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) placed humans as a species «Homo nosce te ipsum» in the order Anthropomorpha along with monkeys and sloths (1735LinneC). In a publication in 1758, the naturalist transferred humans to the order Primates (1758LinneC). Today, humans and chimpanzees are united in the tribe Hominini, as descended from a common ancestor (2001GrovesCP). It has been established that the chromosome that distinguishes humans from monkeys was formed before 4.5 Ma (2022PoszewieckaB_GambinA). The hominin subfamily Sahelanthropus tchadensis lived in the Republic of Chad (Central Africa) from 7.2±0.31 to 6.8±0.45 Ma (2008LebatardAE_BrunetM; 2012ReynoldsSC_GallagherA). Reconstruction of its musculoskeletal system showed that the creature could have been an upright bipedal primate (2005ZollikoferCP_BrunetM). Fossils of what is probably the first bipedal representative of the hominid family Orrorin tugenensis, lived 6.1-5.7 Ma and still retained adapta...
