2. Ligament rond (Fig. 52, 3). Ce ligament à la forme d'un triangle aplati de dehors en dedans, dont la base correspond au ligament transverse de l'acétabulum, la pointe à la dépression de la tête du fémur. Assez variable comme force et comme disposition, il s'insère en bas aux deux bords de l'échancrure cotyloïdienne, à la partie voisine de l'arrière-fond et au ligament transverse. Il est entouré par la synoviale et présente dans son intérieur des vaisseaux allant se rendre à la tête du fémur. La face interne est en rapport avec l'arrière-fond de la cavité cotyloïde, auquel il est rattaché par un repli synovial, sa face externe avec la tête du fémur.

Vaisseaux et nerfs. Les artères viennent des artères circonflexes interne et externe, fessière, ischiatique et obturatrice; cette dernière fournit un rameau qui pénètre par l'échancrure cotyloïdienne dans le ligament rond et va gagner la tête du fémur par les trous de sa dépression centrale. Les nerfs sont en avant, des filets venant de la branche du nerf obturateur, qui va à l'obturateur externe, et des branches musculaires du nerf crural; en arrière, des filets fournis par le nerf ischiatique et par le nerf sciatique, soit directement, soit par sa branche du carré crural.

3. Adduction et abduction. Ces mouvements se passent autour d'un axe antéropostérieur perpendiculaire au précédent et ont aussi une excursion de 90°; l'abduction est limitée par la rencontre du rebord cotyloïdien et du col; l'adduction par la tension du ligament rond; toutes deux comme la rotation, soit en dedans soit en dehors, par la tension du ligament de Bertin; il en résulte que ces quatre mouvements sont incompatibles avec l'extension forcée et ne peuvent se faire qu'avec la flexion, qui relâche le ligament antérieur. C'est dans l'abduction que la tête du fémur présente le plus de points de sa surface en dehors de la cavité.

Le rôle du ligament rond est interprété différemment par les auteurs; les uns, se basant sur son absence constatée dans quelques cas, sur son peu de résistance dans quelques autres, le regardent comme un simple repli destiné à supporter des vaisseaux (Henle); les autres, à cause de la tension incontestable qu'il présente dans l'adduction, lui donnent pour rôle principal de limiter ce mouvement. Il est tendu en outre dans la rotation en dehors, la cuisse étant fléchie; ainsi, par exemple, il maintient le genou élevé lorsqu'on place le bord externe du pied sur le genou du côté opposé.

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 ).

Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?

  Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?  A Medical Hypothesis By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD & Lyudmila N. Arkhipova, BSN     CONTENT [i]   Abstract [ii]   Introduction [iii]   Egyptian physician [iv]   Asian diviner [v]   Conclusion [vi]   References [vii]   Application [i]   Abstract The Book of Genesis is an example of an ancient literary text that contains important medical insights. We propose that it was written in northern Egypt in the late 17th century BCE, approximately ten years after the Minoan eruption. The protograph likely emerged from the collaboration between an Asiatic seer, who rose to the rank of an Egyptian official, and an Egyptian physician-encyclopedist. By refining its dating and authorship, this hypothesis positions Genesis as a credible source of medical and historical data, thereby enhancing its value for interdisciplinary research.
