20 sty 2018 · The femur is the only bone located within the human thigh. It is both the longest and the strongest bone in the human body, extending from the hip to the knee.
9 cze 2024 · The femur anatomy has several parts: the shaft, head, neck, and more. The top part fits into your hip joint, and the bottom connects to your shinbone (tibia) and kneecap (patella) to form your knee. Humans have two femurs, one in each leg, and they meet at the knees, connecting to the tibiae.

13 lis 2020 · The femur is the only bone in the thigh and the longest bone in the body. It acts as the site of origin and attachment of many muscles and ligaments, and can be divided into three parts; proximal, shaft and distal. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the femur – its attachments, bony landmarks, and clinical correlations.
7 wrz 2024 · femur, upper bone of the leg or hind leg. The head forms a ball-and-socket joint with the hip (at the acetabulum), being held in place by a ligament (ligamentum teres femoris) within the socket and by strong surrounding ligaments. In humans the neck of the femur connects the shaft and head at a 125° angle, which is efficient for walking.
