Mishneh Torah. Forbidden Foods, 8.1

[The prohibition against partaking of] the gid hanesheh applies with regard to kosher domesticated animals and wild beasts, even nevelot and trefot. It applies to a fetus and to animals that have been consecrated, both those consecrated [for sacrifices] of which we partake and for sacrifices of which we do not partake. It applies to [the gid] on the right thigh and that on the left thigh. According to Scriptural Law, only [the gid] on the hip socket is forbidden, as [Genesis 32:33] states: "which is on the hip-socket." The remainder of the gid which is above the socket or below the socket - and similarly, the fat which is on the gid - are forbidden only according to Rabbinic decree. There are two giddim. The inner one next to the bone is forbidden according to Scriptural Law. The entire outer one is forbidden by Rabbinic decree. (trans. E. Touger; original source: sefaria.org)

Mischne Tora. Die Verbotenen Speisen

Spannader, unbekanntes Fleisch, Verbot der Nutznießung, 8.1

Das Verbot des Genusses der Spannader findet bei reinem Vieh und Tiere statt, selbst wenn sie als Gefallenes oder Zerrissenes betrachtet werden; ebenso beim Fetus, und bei Tieren, die zum Opfer geheiligt wurden, wobei es sich gleich bleibt, ob es Opfer sind, die gegessen werden können oder nicht, ebenfalls bleibt es sich gleich, ob es die Spannader des rechten oder linken Schenkels ist; — nach der Schrift aber sind nur diejenigen Adern verboten, die auf dem Becken liegen, denn es heißt (Gen. 32:33): »Die auf dem Kopfe des Hüftknochens«; das Übrige von der Spannader, so über, wie unter dem Becken, wie auch das Fett, das sich um diese Ader befindet, ist nur laut Vorschrift der Rabbinen verboten. Übrigens gibt es zwei Spannadern, das Verbot der Schrift nun bezieht sich nur auf die innere, die dem Knochen naheliegt, das Verbot der äußern rührt ganz von den Schriftgelehrten her. (trans. L. Mandelstamm (1851); original source: talmud.de)

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...
