Text С
Two students meet after classes. They want to prepare their homework in Anatomy.

1. 
   : How do you do, Boris!
   
2. 
   : How do you do, Alec!
   

1. 
   : Are you free now?
   
2. 
   : Yes, I am. Let us prepare our Anatomy lesson for tomorrow.
   

1. 
   : Tomorrow we shall have the lesson on the bones.
   
2. 
   : I do not know well the spinal column.
   

1. 
   : I can help you if you like. Can you answer my questions?
   
2. 
   : I am ready.
   

1. 
   : So, at what age does the spine grow most rapidly?
   
2. 
   : In the girls the spine grows most rapidly to the age of 15. In the boys it grows to the age of 19. After the age of 19 the spine grows very slowly. The length of the spinal column is about 40% of the body.
   

1. 
   : That’s all right. Now the second question. What do you know about the number of the vertebrae in the spine?
   
2. 
   : The number of the vertebrae may be 32 or 34. Sometimes it may be 37. But I don’t know why. Can you tell me?
   

1. 
   : It is because the number of the sacral vertebrae may be five and the number of the vertebrae which compose the coccyx may be from one to five.
   
2. 
   : Thank you. Can you tell me which of the vertebrae have the form different from the others?
   

1. 
   : They are the first and the second cervical vertebrae. The form of these two vertebrae is different because they take part in the flexible connection of the skull and the spine.
   
2. 
   : Thank you. I think tomorrow I shall answer well.

TextD
The patient had the disease of the coxofemoral (тазобедренный) joints, the biggest in the body.
The patient could not walk for six years. Doctor of Medicine Prof. K.M. Sivash, a research worker of one of Moscow Institutes, examined the patient. He wanted to use a new method of treatment.
Before the operation on the man Doctor Sivash carried out a great number of experiments on animals using artificial metal joints. During the operation Doctor Sivash used the artificial metal joints instead of the diseased coxofemoral joints of the patient. The operation was successful and soon the patient could walk.
In April 1972 Professor S.T. Zatsepin worked out the method of total hip prosthesis¹ to replace² the whole femoral bone with artificial coxofemoral and knee³ joints.
Such “total” hip prothesis was worked out together with Professor K.M. Sivash, who had used artificial joints connected by titanic nail⁴.
This total hip prothesis was successfully used on a patient with malignant tumour of the right femoral bone. During the operation 2/3 of the proximal part and the middle third of the femoral bone were excised⁵. The length of the excised bone was 22 cm. The postoperative course was smooth and the functional results were good.
' Now artificial metal joints are used in many cases of the diseases of different joints.
