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.

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.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 5

Short retelling of chapter 5 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian] Chapter 5. ADAM AND EVE The Book of Genesis narrates the story of a tribe founded by Adam and Eve, described as the "mother of all living." From a genetic perspective, they are depicted as siblings, with an age difference of 18–25 years. According to the biblical epic, they formed humanity’s first family, sustaining themselves on pre-existing fruits and seeds. Their initial home was the "garden in Eden," located "in the east" relative to the narrator. The text identifies geographic markers for Eden’s location: lands like "Asshur," "Cush," and "Havilah," and rivers named "Pishon," "Gihon," "Hiddekel," and "Phrath." The narrator also notes the region’s economic value, mentioning "gold," ...

Australopithecus afarensis

AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS In 1735, Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) placed humans as a species «Homo nosce te ipsum» in the order Anthropomorpha along with monkeys and sloths (1735LinneC). In a publication in 1758, the naturalist transferred humans to the order Primates (1758LinneC). Today, humans and chimpanzees are united in the tribe Hominini, as descended from a common ancestor (2001GrovesCP). It has been established that the chromosome that distinguishes humans from monkeys was formed before 4.5 Ma (2022PoszewieckaB_GambinA). The hominin subfamily Sahelanthropus tchadensis lived in the Republic of Chad (Central Africa) from 7.2±0.31 to 6.8±0.45 Ma (2008LebatardAE_BrunetM; 2012ReynoldsSC_GallagherA). Reconstruction of its musculoskeletal system showed that the creature could have been an upright bipedal primate (2005ZollikoferCP_BrunetM). Fossils of what is probably the first bipedal representative of the hominid family Orrorin tugenensis, lived 6.1-5.7 Ma and still retained adapta...

The author writes about anatomy, role, and damage of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in hip dislocation. The text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. Quote 1. Ch. VII. p. 64. … outre que l'articulation du bras n'a que des ligamens fort lâches, & n'est point assujettie par un ligament rond comme la cuisse, d'où vient qu'il fait toutes sortes de mouvemens avec vitesse. Quote 2. Ch. XII. p. 106. 4. Il y a un ligament rond qui s'oppose à la luxation. Ce ligament prend son origine de la tête du femur, & s'insere dans la cavité de l'ischion; à la verité il ne s'insere pas directement au fond de la cavité ny au milieu de la tête, ce qui fait qu'il ne peur pas s'opposer à toutes les especes de luxations, comme nous le ferons voir dans les differences.
