Essay

The subject of research is structural and biomechanical properties of limbs' long bones and their relationship with limbs orientation relative to the body planes and the locomotion type. Established, that torsional loads mainly acting on the limb skeleton of animals that have segmental limb orientation. These loads are limiting the range of bones' morpho-functional adaptation. Parasagittal limb orientation contributes to enhancement of potential ability to extension of limbs' function and using new locomotion types. Relative increasing of mechanical parameters occurs at the expense of relative increasing of quantity of compact bone tissue and its more efficient distribution in mid-shaft.
