Summary

Ligaments are dense connective tissue structures that reinforce and support skeletal joints. They function as passive components of the musculoskeletal system, providing stability, limiting movement, and guiding joint motion.

Encyclopedia article (1928–1936)

LIGAMENTS, ligamenta (from Latin ligo - I bind), a term used in normal anatomy of ligaments of humans and higher vertebrates, primarily to denote dense connective tissue cords, plates, etc., that supplement and reinforce various types of skeletal bone connections. Together with bones and joints, ligaments should be classified as the passive part of the motor apparatus. The term "ligamentum (a)" was introduced into anatomy only in modern times; previously, ligaments were denoted by the Latin name "vinculum (a)" (from vincire - to bind) or by the even older term "desmos" and "syndesmos" (see Syndesmology).-According to microscopic structure, ligaments are classified as anatomical formations consisting of dense connective tissue - collagenous or elastic. In some cases, ligaments are formed almost entirely of dense collagen fibers with a small admixture of elastic fibers - syndesmosis fibrosa (e.g., lig. interclaviculare, stylohyoideum, etc.); in others, they consist exclusively of elastic fibers - syndesmosis elastica (Fick), synelastosis (Rauber) (e.g., lig. flava of the spine). In a mechanical sense, the first and second types of ligaments are mutually opposite. Most ligaments are located near joints, serving as their auxiliary apparatus. In the mechanics of a particular joint, ligaments have different functional significance. Accordingly, some are called strengthening ligaments, as they, together with other factors (see Joints), contribute to securing the bones articulating with each other, being located either externally and weaving their fibers into the joint capsule (lig. extraarticularia: lig. ischiocapsulare, lig. temporomandibulare, etc.) or inside the joint cavity [lig. intraarticularia (see fig. VIII, art. 134): lig. teres femoris, etc.].-The second group consists of restraining ligaments, which restrain or limit movements in a particular joint [for example, the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (see vol. XIII, art. 373-374, fig. 2-4) of the knee joint limit inward rotation of the tibia, lig. iliofemorale restrains strong extension and adduction of the thigh].-The third variety of joint ligaments are so-called guiding (movement) ligaments, which exert their influence either on the entire course of movement in a given joint or on a particular moment of it. An example of guiding ligaments can be the intraarticular ligaments of the knee joint (lig. cruciata) (see vol. XIII, art. 373-374, fig. 2-4). Some ligaments, in terms of functional significance, are mixed: both strengthening and guiding (lig. collateralia of the elbow joint, etc.) (see vol. XVI, art. 338, fig. 7). Restraining ligaments are often located where the joint capsule undergoes maximum stretching; guiding ligaments are in areas located on the sides of the joint and between the planes of groups of muscles that are antagonists, as well as, for example, in angular joints on the side of the articulation where flexion or extension is impossible (on the sides of the joint). Ligaments play an essential role not only in the dynamics of individual skeletal segments but also in statics. Thus, severe stretching or transection of the cruciate ligaments of the knee joint disrupts both walking and standing. In such important parts of the skeletal system from a statics point of view as the spine and foot, ligaments have the role of so-called passive tensioning devices, the relaxation of which leads to violations of static functions and to changes in the size and shape of the corresponding skeletal segments (bodies). Individual ligaments are located outside of connections with joints, connecting neighboring bones or even separate parts of the same bone (lig. coracoacromiale, stretched between the coracoid and acromial processes of the scapula) (see vol. XVI, art. 379, fig. 6). Some ligaments have the appearance of plates-membranes, located between bones (see vol. XII, art. 463, fig. 1) (see Forearm, Leg) as interosseous membranes. These same ligaments are intermuscular septa (lig. intermuscularia). Others close the openings of bones, large fissures (lig. obturatoria) or extend over a notch of a separate bone, forming together with it an opening for the passage of vessels and nerves (lig. scapulae sup.) or finally bridge over a groove formed by several bones, and limit a canal for the passage of tendons, nerves, etc. (lig. carpi transversum, limiting the canalis carpalis). All the listed ligaments, as connective tissue formations of the passive part of the motor apparatus, develop from mesenchyme. Parallel with the formation of bones, joints, joints with their capsules, etc., the development of the ligamentous apparatus proceeds, and in formed joints, some ligaments are so closely interwoven with the fibrous capsule that they are artificially isolated as denser, formed bundles, giving them a special name. The mechanical properties of ligaments of various parts of the motor apparatus and individual ligaments vary. In particular, their strength under tension (and rupture), their elasticity, etc., differ. Strength under tension (according to R. Fick) is 6.5 kg per 1 mm2. The strongest ligament in the human body is considered to be lig. iliofemorale (see vol. XI, art. 29, fig. 9 and 10), withstanding a load of 350 kg, and the second in strength - lig. plantare longum (load 200 kg; Lesgaft). The strength of individual ligaments is so great that with strong stretching, not rupture of the ligaments themselves is observed, but avulsion of a piece of bone to which the given ligament is attached (so-called avulsion fracture); for example, the strength of lig. deltoidei (see vol. VII, art. 459, fig. 4) is so significant that with sudden abduction of the foot, it often tears off the top of the medial malleolus, but does not rupture itself. The elasticity of the ligamentous apparatus, like its strength, varies not only in its individual parts but also depending on individuality, body type, sex, and age. Age-related changes consist in the fact that in childhood, ligaments are the most elastic and pliable, and in old age, due to senile changes in all connective tissue formations, ligaments to a large extent lose the characteristic properties of their tissue. The term "ligaments" is also used to denote a whole series of other anatomical formations (of various systems of the human body) of connective tissue or connective tissue with an admixture of muscle fibers and even formations consisting of serous membranes. Ligaments are also called connective tissue cords remaining after the obliteration of blood vessels of the placental circulation period. Such are lig. teres hepatis (vol. XXIV, art. 531, fig. 1) - the obliterated umbilical vein, lig. venosum, lig. arteriosum, lig. vesico-umbilicalia lateralia. №№ Latin and Russian names. Synonyms. Attachment sites. Position.

In the cartilaginous skeleton of the larynx there is an auxiliary ligamentous apparatus to the joint capsules of the articulated cartilages, Lig. between the thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone (lig. hyothyreoideum med. et lat. and others). Connective tissue bundles, reinforced by muscle bundles, help to fix the organ in place (lig. cardinalia uteri, lig. rotunda uteri and others, Lig. of the urinary bladder, prostate gland, thyroid gland and other organs). A large number of ligaments of internal organs are formed by duplicatures of serous covers: peritoneum [lig. hepato-gastricum (see vol. XXIV, art. 533, fig. 11), Lg phrenico-lienale, gastro-lienale and others], pleura (lig. pulmonale). The serous ligaments of internal organs do not have the main strengthening role. They are formed as a result of the complex development of the corresponding serous cover and its relationships (in the initial and subsequent periods) with the corresponding internal organs (their position).-Names of ligaments are given depending on their position (lig. collateralia, lig. interossea, etc.), on color (lig. flava), on shape (lig. deltoideum, lig. conicum), on length and position [lig. longitudinale ant. (post.) (see vol. XXVI, art. 118, fig. 18), lig. plantare longum], on the bones they connect [lig. calcaneo-tibiale (see vol. VII, art. 459, fig. 4), lig. interclaviculare] and so on. Often a whole group of ligaments is united under one name - apparatus ligamentosus (app. lig. sinus tarsi, of the back and palmar surface of the bone, etc.). Most terms used to name ligaments have synonyms.
