1884SuttonJB

Fragments from the article Sutton JB. Ligaments: Their Nature and Morphology (1884). The author discovered that in the ostrich the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) was not continuous with the ambiens muscle, but with a muscular slip which ran parallel with the-muscle, and ended in the adductor mass. This publication develops the theme of article 1883SuttonJB . Quote pp. 228-229 I must now pass on to consider certain ligaments of the appendicular skeleton, commencing with some additional remarks on the ligamentum teres. The Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, vol. xvii January 1883, contains a short article on the ligamentum teres, in which I have endeavoured to point out that many ligaments are the tender of muscles which were originally in relation with the joint; but the parent muscle has either formed new attachments or become obsolete, whilst the tendon remains as a passive element in the articulation. In addition to the ligamentum teres the following structures ...

In 2014, at the International Olympics Space for school students, Alexandra Arkhipova presented a report on the feasibility of using joints with flexible elements in walking machines. The author was recognized as the overall winner (more details: cyclowiki.org ). The report suggested: «An important area of possible application of walking robots would be remote exploration of other planets». Ten years later, professionals from NASA began to put this idea into practice: Robot dog trains to walk on Moon in Oregon trials (more details: bbc.com ). Below we present the text of the first message about walking machines in space, the ball joint of which contains a flexible element - an analogue of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Mobile biomorphic platforms with analogues of natural locomotion algorithms Arkhipova A.S.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 7

Short retelling of chapter 7 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian] Chapter 7. ABEL AND CAIN A pivotal moment in the saga of early humanity was the departure from the "Garden of Eden" to cultivate fields, with a focus on growing grains, as "bread" is mentioned earlier in Genesis. The text does not specify where Adam and Eve settled after leaving Eden, but we can infer it was a warm region with ample water for crops and livestock. This is evidenced by their sons’ occupations: Cain as a "tiller of the ground" and Abel as a "keeper of sheep." Over time, Cain and his family moved "east of Eden" to the land of "Nod," where he founded a "city"—a settlement with permanent dwellings. His descendants developed sophisticated skills: some mastered music, playing the stringed "lyre" and the ...

Teresi – a small ligament of the hip joint, also known as the round ligament (lat. ligamentum teres). It supports the body and thus reduces the load on the hip joint.

1886AdamsF

The first mention of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in a scientific text is found in the treatise «Mochlicus» ( Instruments of Reductions ), highly likely authored by Hippocrates of Kos (born 460 BCE). The classical translation of this work into English was performed by the surgeon Francis Adams. In the translation of Hippocrates’ text, LCF is called «ligament». We bring to your attention a quote and a brief commentary by the translator: Selected quote mentioning LCF MOCHLICUS, pp. 161-163 1. With regard to the construction of bones, the bones and joints of the fingers are simple, the bones of the hand and foot are numerous, and articulated in various ways ; the uppermost are the largest ; the heel consists of one bone which is seen to project outwards, and the back tendons are attached to it. The leg consists of two bones, united together above and below, but slightly separated in the middle; the external bone (fibula), where it comes into proximity with the l...
