1600LaurensA

Fragment from the book Du Laurens A. Historia anatomica humani corporis (1600). The author writes about the anatomy, attachment, properties, shape and size ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The text uses the term of Galen of Pergamon: “cartilaginous sinew” (νεῦρον χονδρῶδες) (2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV). In the caption to the Fig. IIII, p. 190, the author calls the LCF: “O. Vinculum femur ischio alligans.” (Band connecting the femur to the ischium).

Book. III, Chapter XXI.

On the ligaments of the ilium, pubis, femur, and tibia.

The iliac bones are connected to the sacrum by membranous ligaments, the pubic bones are also connected by cartilage, and the common ligaments bind them more firmly. There are also two special round ligaments that run from the lower part of the sacrum to the sharp protrusion of the pelvic bone, connecting it more firmly with the sacrum and supporting the rectum and the muscles of the sphincter. There is also a membranous ligament that closes the opening of the pubic bone. The femur is connected to the acetabulum of the ischium by two ligaments; one common, wide, very thick, surrounding the entire joint, the other separate, which runs from the bottom of the acetabulum to the middle of the head of the femur, hard, round, and short, so that it can be considered a cartilaginous sinew. ...

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 ).

Quote p. 307 Ligament inter-articulaire, ligament intérieur, (ligament rond desauteurs). Ce ligament occupe l'intérieur de l'articulation, étendu de la tête du fémur à la cavité cotyloïde. Il a plutôt la forme d'un triangle à base appuyée sur la cavité cotyloïde que celle d'un faisceau arrondi, comme l'indiquerait sa dénomination de ligament rond. Il se fixe, supérieurement, sur l'enfoncement du sommet de la tète du fémur, et en bas, sur les deux bords de l'échancrure interne de la cavité cotyloïde, au moyen de deux faisceaux distincts réunis par la membrane synoviale. Arrondi vers le fémur, le ligament inter-articulaire est aplati du côté de l'os cox...
