Biomotphological features of hip joint (skeleton, ligaments, muscles) og pink flamingo

Abstract

This work is devoted to the study of the biomorphological features of hip joint, namely, it's skeleton, ligaments, muscles. The study of the peculiarities of the locomotive apparatus of birds in line with other animals makes it pissible to understand phylogeny as an adaptive process, which forms the basis of evolution in general meaning. The article gives a theoretical generalization of the features of the hip joint's structure of birds, which are characterized by different types of biomorphological adaptations, namely the type and speed of ground movement in the medium of exastance. This allows to conduct from new position an analysis of processes of differentiation and transformation of the hip joint’s muscles and features of skeletal elements of birds that function and develop under the influence of various external features. There are described generalizated of the original systematic morphological study of the hip joint elements, as the main apparatus of the bipedal locomotion of the class of birds. For the first time, detailed comparative description of the skeletal, ligaments and muscles of the hip joint of the pink flamingo is presented. The biomorphological features of the muscles, acting on the hip joint of the pink flamingo were investigated. It was establushed, the that degree of differentiation of the muscles is due to the walking type of bipolar locomotion, as well as the biomorphological features of the static, which in turn imposes certain imprints on the degree of development of each individual muscle.
