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.

What portion of the femur bone helps make up the knee cap?
the portion of the femur bone that helps makes up the knee cap is considered what
What is the large bone in the thigh called?
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.
Longest strongest bone in the body?
The femur, the thigh bone
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
Where does the end of the thigh bone join with the kneecap?
The distal end of the femur joins with the patella.

Which bone is found anterior to the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia?
The patella is anterior to the joint between the femur and tibia. The patella is also known as the kneecap.
Where does a Femur go?
The Femur Articulates (Forms a joint) with the Acetabularium of the pelvis bone at the junction of Ilium and Ischium. This is a ball and Socket Joint. And this is at the proximal end of the Femur. The distal end of the Femur articulates with the Tibia and Fibula (The bones of the shank region). This is a hinge joint.

What is the longest bone in the body?
The Femur in the ThighThe femur is the longest bone in the human body; it is located in the thigh. It is also known as the thigh bone (Femur is the technical word).
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.
