Quote p. 46.

Sur la face antéro-externe du grand trochanter et du col chirurgical , sur le bord supérieur du col anatomique, les rameaux de la circonflexe antérieure s'inosculent à plein canal avec les ramifications de la circonflexe postérieure. Aiusi est formé autour de l'épiphyse supérieure du fémur un cercle artériel complet constitué par les deux circonflexes et leurs branches de division ; elles embrassent dans leur concavité l'extrémité supérieure fémorale, qu'elles vascularisent assez abondamment.

Il est à remarquer que ce cercle est anastomosé : en haut, du côté de la tête fémorale, par l'intermédiaire des branches intra-osseuses avec le rameau articulaire de la branche externe de l'obturatrice, qui pénètre dans l'articulation de la hanche à travers l'échancrure ischio-pubienne et se porte, en suivant le ligament rond, jusqu'à la tête du fémur ; des branches de l'articulaire s'enfoncent en outre dans le tissu celluloadipeux rougeâtre du fond de la cavité cotyloïde ; en bas, avec le réseau du périoste diaphysaire.

Quote pp. 56-57.

Par le fait des anastomoses établies sur le bord supérieur du col fémoral entre la circonflexe postérieure et l'antérieure, il existe aussi , sur la face antérieure du col et de la tête, quelques perforantes nées de la circonflexe antérieure et qui pénètrent dans la sphère osseuse , entourée ainsi elle-même d'une série d'artérioles rayonnant vers son centre. Au niveau de la fossette d'insertion du ligament rond , on trouve quelques fines artérioles intra-osseuses, fournies par le rameau articulaire soit de l'obturatrice, soit de la circonflexe interne . Il existe donc autour de la tête fémorale, à l'union du cartilage et de l'os , un véritable cercle artériel constitué par des artères osseuses issues des circonflexes. Du cercle artériel naissent des branches radiées qui vascularisent l'os spongieux chez l'adulte, le cartilage de la tête fémorale, en voie d'ossification , chez le fœtus ou l'enfant.

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 ).

Fragments of t he book Pollux J. Onomasticum (166-76) edited by E. Bethe (1900). In Greek the author calls ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) «ἰσχίον», and the concept of «ligament» is designated by the term «νεῦρον / ν εῦρα ». The term «ἰσχίον» was used by Rufus of Ephesus ( 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV ). The fragment of the Onomasticum dealing with the LCF was quoted by Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia ( 1603IngrassiaeIP ) .
