The femur is attached to the pelvis and knee cap, which makes it the longest bone in the body. The National Space Biomedical Research Institute states the average adult femur measures 20 inches and is more than 1 inch in width.
The femur connects to the pelvis socket, which creates the hip joint. This joint provides the entire body with stability, especially during moments of intense movement.
The front of the femur is shaped to support the patella, or kneecap. When a leg is extended, the grooves in the front of the femur allow the patella to safely move upward. When the knee is bent, the groove allows the patella to move downward. The movement of the patella supported by the femur enables efficiency of the leg muscles, according to Health Line.
The femur makes up about 1/4 of a person's overall height

The femur is the strongest bone in the body...
Also the femur has the patella at the bottom and the pelvis at the top of it.
The femur, which is part of the upper thigh, is the largest bone in the human body. It performs various functions that help maintain mobility.
Fun Fact: The femur is the strongest and the longest bone in the skeletal system.
It is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.
Anatomically, it connects the scapula and the lower arm.
The fibula is the smaller of the two bones of the lower leg.

The thighbone's scientific name is the femur.
The thigh bone is called as femur. It is the architectural marvel.
The femur or thigh bone is the largest and strongest bone in the body. The sides of the bone are the left and right lateral aspect of the femur.
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.

The Femur is the bone that goes from your hip down to your knee. Femur length would mean how long the Femur is.
