There are four ligaments in the knee that help connect the femur to the tibia and keep your legs stable:
1) Medial collateral ligament (MCL): The MCL connects your femur to your tibia along the inside of your knee. It keeps the inner part of your knee stable and helps control the sideways motion of your knee, like keeping it from bending inward.
2) Lateral collateral ligament (LCL): The LCL connects your femur to your tibia along the outside of your knee. It keeps the outer part of your knee stable and helps control the sideways motion of your knee, like keeping it from bending outward.
3) Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL): The ACL connects your femur to your tibia at the center of the knee. It helps control forward motion and rotation, like keeping your shinbone from sliding out in front of your thighbone.
4) Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) - The PCL connects your femur to your tibia at the back of the knee. It helps control the knee's backward motion, like keeping the shinbone from sliding out under the thighbone.

Which bone will join with the femur?
Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, AcetabelumThe femur articulates with the Tibia, Patellae and the OS coxae (pelvis).Hip bone and shin bone
What are the three separate coxal bones in an infant?
Femur Sacrum Pelvis
What leg bone's connected to the hip bone?
Do you perhaps mean the pelvis?
What is the acetabulofemoral?
* deep socket in the coxal bone* formed where the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones fuse* the head of the femur, the thigh bone, fits in the acetabulumAcetabulum is the area on the pelvis where the head of the femur joins the pelvis. It is a concave surface that allows for the forming of the hip joint which allows you kick your leg up.The hip has these two bowl shaped regions into which the upper femur fits. This is the hip joint. That bowl shaped region is called the acetabulum.
Where is the fumur bone?
do you mean femur?? its the bone connected from the knee to the pelvis.
In humans the pelvis and the femur or thighbone are involved in walking in whales the pelvis and femur are used for what?

What bone is above the femur?

Did modern whales have pelvis and femur?

Where found femur in skeletal system?
Your femur is your thigh bone. It is the largest bone in your body. It is connected to your pelvis.
Which bone will join with the femur?
Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, AcetabelumThe femur articulates with the Tibia, Patellae and the OS coxae (pelvis).Hip bone and shin bone
Where in the body is femur found?
The femur is the longest and thickest bone of the human skeleton; and extends from the pelvis to the knee.
Which bone is attached to your hip bone?
the "hip bones", or illium of pelvis, are connected to the pelvis.
What are the three bones that articulate with the femur?
The proximal end of the femur articulates with the acetabulum, which is the socket joint of the pelvis. The acetabulum is formed by the fusion of the three bones which make up the pelvis, the ischium, the ilium and the pubis. The distal end of the femur articulates with the patellae (knee caps) and the tibia.
What are the three separate coxal bones in an infant?
Femur Sacrum Pelvis
Which is the longest bone in your leg?
Femur. This is the bone from your pelvis (hip) to roughly your knee
