HIPPOCRATIS. MOCHLICUS, SEV VECTIARIUS.

Caput I.

Ossa hunc in modum a natura sunt coparata. Digitorum quidem, tum ossiu, tum articulorum, simplex est junctura. In manu vero & pede, cum multa alia varie connectuntur, tu maxima sunt quae supremo loco committuntur. Calcis unum os est, quale foras prominet, quo etiam a posteriore parte tedines tendunt. Tibiae duo ossa sunt supra & infra coherentia, medio vero loco distantia. Quod exterius tendit, parvum & juxta parvum digitum paulo tenuius. Plurima vero hac parte distantia, minoreque momento ad genu inclinatio est, ex quo exterior poplitis tendo ortu habet. Inferiore autem parte commune habent ossis accretione, qua pes movetur, & superiore parte alteram, ubi femoris articulus simplex & longitudine succinctus movetur, tuberculorum speciem referens, & patellam habens. Ipsum vero femur exteriore & anteriore parte incurvatur. Ejus caput ossis est accrementum, rotundum, ex quo nervus (νεῦρον) qui in coxendicis acetabulo est, originem ducit. Cujus aliquantulum obliqua est connexio, minus tame quam braehii. Coxendix autem magne vertebre, quae; est ad os sacrum, ex vinculo cartilaginoso & nervoso inhaerescit. At spina a sacro quidem osse ad magnam vertebram usq; in gibbum curvatur. Vesicaq; & geniturae pars destinata, rectiq; intestini quod est inclinatum, ibisedem habet. Inde vero ad septum transversum, recta interiorem in partem inclinata tendit, qua parte lumboru muasculi […] dicti existunt. Ab ea quoque parte ad magnam vertebram, quae est tupra summam humerorum partem, recta in gibbum elevatur, imo vero hujusmodi magis apparet, quam sit. Posteriores enim vertebraru processus ea parte maxime eminent. Ipse aute cervicis articulus anteriore in parte inclinat. Vertebrae aute interiore parte inter se sunt aequabiles, exteriore vero cartilaginibus & nervis continentur: Eae quoq; in posteriore medullae spinalis parte, articuloru modo inter se committuntur; Parte autem posteriore processum acutum habent, cum adnata cartilagine, unde exoriuntur nervi qui proni feruntur, non secus ac musculi a cervice ad lumbos adnascuncur, qui costarum & spine intermedium complent. Costae vero ad vertebraiu interstitia, nervo annectuntur, a cervice ad lumbos interiorem in parte tendentes. Anteriore autem parte ad pectus, laxu & molle extremum habentes, forma prae caeteris animatibus maxime recurva cernutur: hac enim parte homo mole est angustissima. Quae costae no sunt, processus obliquus, brevis & latus, ad singulas vertebras nervo annexus est. At pectus sibiipsi cohaeret, qua parte costae annectutur obliqua interstitia habens, laxum quoque & cartilagineum; claviculae parte anteriore rotundae, ad pectus quidem breves motus, ad summum vero humerum crebriores habent. Sumus aute humerus (...dicitur) ex lato scapularum osse ortum ducit, in plurimis non aequabiliter. Latum vero scapulatu os ad spinam cartilagineum, reliqua parte laxum, foris inaequabile, cervicem & cavum cartilagineu habens, ex quo costae motionem ducunt, quod facile inter ossa, si brachium demas, dissolvitur. Hujus caput ex cavitate nervulo annexum est, teneram cartilaginem & rotundam adnatam habens; ipsum autem exteriore parte incurvum, & anteriore obliquum, ad cavitatem recta no fertur. Quod vero est ad cubiti gibbum, latum, tuberculosum, oblongas cavitates habens & solidum, posteriore parte cavum est, in quod cubici processus adnatus (qui ... dicitur) ubi manus extenditur, inseritur, quo etia torpidus nervus qui ex medio cubiti ossium intestitio enascitur, terminatur.

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 ).

1832MeckelJF

Fragments of the book Meckel JF. Manual of general, descriptive, and pathological anatomy (1832) dedicated to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The author briefly discusses abnormalities of the LCF and its distal insertion. Quote p. 257 § 308. Among the deviations from the normal state, primitive deviations of the external form are rare, and usually attend anomalies of the other tissues. Among these we arrange, for instance, the absence of the tendons of the abdominal muscles, that of the ligaments of the vertebral column, and that of the dura mater of the brain and spinal marrow, &c., in a congenital fissure of the abdomen, of the vertebral column, and of the skull, and that of the tendons and the muscles of a finger, when the finger itself is wanting. But the fibrous organs are seldom deficient, when the other tissues with which they combine to form a part are present — for instance, the tendon alone of a muscle is rarely absent, or the tunica sclerotica, when the othe...

«Prof. Partridge in his lectures on anatomy at King's College was accustomed to compare the Ligamentum Teres, in its function, to the leathern straps by which the body of a carriage is suspended on springs » ( 1874SavoryWS ). Perhaps Nikolai Pirogov listened to these lectures ( 1859PirogoffN ). The analogy that Richard Partridge used could have arisen after reading the monograph Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801) . In it, the author depicted a cart and a pelvis resting on the head of one and two femurs. However, there is no mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in the chart descriptions.
