Abstract

The article presents information on the scientific activity of individual representatives of Kyiv School of Comparative Morphologists of Ukraine founded by B.O. Dombrovskyi in 1924. Dombrovskyi B.O. together with his students worked on the study of biomorphology issues, that is, the synthesis of ecology and morphology of a single species, which occupies its ecological niche outside of which it cannot exist. Principles of B.O. Dombrovskyi in his scientific research was followed by his student V.G. Kasyanenko, who, along with this, initiated a new scientific direction of research comparative anatomical and functional analysis of the locomotor apparatus. While working as the head of the Department of Evolutionary Morphology of the Zoology Institute the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, he was engaged in the study of biomechanics, that is he studied the structural and biomechanical analysis of the locomotor apparatus of quadrupeds.He was especially noted for his scientific activity the representative of the Kyiv School of Comparative Morphologists Professor G. O. Himmelreich, who conducted a wide and detailed morpho-functional study of the pharynx. This gave him the opportunity to create a new idea about the ways of phylogenetic development of the entire main intestine of the digestive apparatus. The study of the hyoid apparatus was conducted by professor S. K. Rudyk, who not only studied its specific features of the structure, but also clarified the history of its development and causal conditioning
