Abstract

The aim of the study was to study the divergence in the structure of the human femur and some mammals tetrapods.

Material and methods. The osteometric study was conducted on 404 thighs of modern human, Bos taurus Taurus, L. 1758, Canis lupus  familiaris, L. 1758, Oryctolagus cuniculus, L.  1758. 28 homologous structures on each bone were measured. The coefficient of proportionality took into account the influence of animal weight on the formation of the skeleton. The transverse diameter of the shaft in the middle of the bone length was taken as a unit.

Results. As a result, it was found that the main differences in the structure of the femur are associated with an increase in its relative length, the width of the proximal epiphysis, an increase in the head, a decrease in the angles of the anteversion and the diaphyseal angle, a decrease in the bending of the femoral shaft anteriorly and an increase in its relative sagittal diameter. If the constancy of the width of the distal epiphysis of the increased width of the articular surface of the patella and the width of the intercondylar fossa, increased the relative size of the lateral condyle, the size of epicondyles decreased.
