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.
Both the tibia and fibula are directly distal to the femur.
femur is longest bone so it must be superior to tibia
The femur is distal or inferior to the pelvis.
... as the ulna is to the humerus.
The tibia is distal to the femur.
Bones
yes
Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, AcetabelumThe femur articulates with the Tibia, Patellae and the OS coxae (pelvis).Hip bone and shin bone
Femur Sacrum Pelvis
Do you perhaps mean the pelvis?
* 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.
do you mean femur?? its the bone connected from the knee to the pelvis.
Vestigal Structures.
Bones
the femur is the largest, longest, and strongest bone in your body therefor it is bigger than the pelvis
The pelvis is above the femur,
yes
Your femur is your thigh bone. It is the largest bone in your body. It is connected to your pelvis.
Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, AcetabelumThe femur articulates with the Tibia, Patellae and the OS coxae (pelvis).Hip bone and shin bone
The femur is the longest and thickest bone of the human skeleton; and extends from the pelvis to the knee.
the "hip bones", or illium of pelvis, are connected to the pelvis.
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.
Femur Sacrum Pelvis
Femur. This is the bone from your pelvis (hip) to roughly your knee
