LXV.

Superius rotundum, globosumque Caput, oblongæ & robustæ Cervici, quæ universam corporis molem sustinere debet, imponitur; quod cartilagine obductum intra cavitatem, ossis ilium, ischii, & pubis concursu productam, quæ Acetabulum alias dicitur, reconditur: in qua detinetur robustis ligamentis; lato uno, & membranoso, quod à circumferentia acetabuli exortum, totum articulum circumdat; tum rotundo altero, & tereti, quod ab ipsa cavitate productum, statim in caput susceptum demittitur.

Translation

[Eng]

LXV.

The head, round and globular at the top, is placed on an elongated and strong neck, which must support the whole weight of the body; covered with cartilage, it is placed in a cavity formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium and pubis, which is otherwise called the acetabulum: in this cavity it is held by strong ligaments; one broad and membranous, which begins around the acetabulum and surrounds the whole joint; and the other round and rounded, which comes directly from the cavity itself and is directed immediately to the head, to which it is attached.

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...

Planar models of the hip joint

Planar models of the hip joint: The history of creation and experiments. For a description of experiments on a planar model of the hip joint with ligamentum capitis femoris (+ 25 illustrations), see: https://kruglayasvyazka.blogspot.com/2024/05/blog-post_26.html NB! In experiments on planar models, F. Pauwels did not take into account ligaments. Therefore, his theory is not correct as applied to the norm.
